The Vivace headjoint is a combination of the Forte and Vivo cuts. It allows more resistance than the Forte headjoint and has a wide spectrum of tone colors.

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.
