There is another side to our business that most flutists do not realize exists. I started the company in 1991, building on years of experience in instrument repair. From that time I have not only been repairing, I have also been providing tools and supplies to technicians and manufacturers. Today, my company designs and builds specialty tools and parts for instrument makers worldwide. This keeps us at the forefront of current instrument technology, and allows us a unique perspective from which to understand the instruments

The design features of this headjoint incorporate a traditional parabolic bore with a modern lip plate design. The embouchure holes are carved entirely by hand. The embouchure design includes undercutting for tonal shading and overcutting for rapid base of movement throughout the registers. As well as crafting head joints in precious metal, Rodger also makes headjoints in various exotic hardwoods.
