The Forte headjoint has a lot of resonance and produces a dark centered tone. A wide dynamic spectrum is ensured throughout the entire range of the instrument.

Different materials

The headjoints are available in different materials: gold, .925 sterling silver and .970 pristine silver for a rich tone and wide sound spectrum. Using gold in the headjoint riser or lip-plate can greatly enhance the projection, desired tonal quality and subtlety. The following applies for gold headjoints (10K, 14K or 18K): as the karat level increases, the sound becomes warmer, richer and the projection becomes bigger.
