Maesta 14K
Four outstanding handmade headjoints are available: Forte, Vivo, Calore and Vivace.
These elegant and perfect handmade engravings are possible on the keys and lip-plate.
The 14K Maesta flute is optionally available with gold plating. This brings a warm and dark element in the sound.
The tone holes are available either drawn or soldered.
Pointed arms both increase the stability and enhance the quality of the mechanism.
The 14K Maesta flute has an optional split E-mechanism that allows for secure attacks and smooth slurs to the third octave E.
Available with E-mechanism lever.
All models are available with in-line or off-set G key.
The C# trill key makes many trill fingerings easier and lets the high G#3 speak better. It also improves the intonation of both C#2 and C#3.
The One-Piece Core-Bar construction results in more playing comfort and less wear of the mechanism.
The G/A trill key makes the G3/A3 trill speak better (not possible in combination with the C# trill key).
The Pinless Mechanism ensures the stable connection of the mechanism and prevents it from corrosion.
The ergonomic D# roller simplifies movement of the right hand little finger.
Optionally available with C-foot or B-foot.
