Galway Spirit Flute Features

• Galway embouchure specification

To be quite frank, it took a while to produce the embouchure that Sir James was happy with. After he sent specific measurements, we were both happy!

• Gemstone in Crown

Every crown is bezel set with an emerald colored cubic zirconium gemstone. It’s a quality setting that will last and is reminiscent of the jewel that Sir James carries in his own head joint crown.

• Galway Engraved Signature

• Galway Rose and Initials engraved

For Sir James’s 60th birthday, rose hybridizer David Austin created the Galway Rose. We thought it was a fitting commemoration of that event and of the exquisite rose.

• CNC machined flat interiors

Traditional drop-forged cups reveal the exterior design on the inside of the cup. This causes pads to create an uneven seal unless they are heavily shimmed. Our more expensive CNC machined cups provide a flat surface for the pad and a precisely center pad screw spud. The result is a pad with fewer leaks and adjustments.

• Performance Flute Plug

The Performance Flute Plug designed by Bob Ogren features double O-rings and a Delrin™ stopper which creates a long lasting seal. The seal will not fluctuate in different humidity conditions. In addition, it provides tonal stability and enhanced response.

• Gerald Carey cleaning rod

The Gerald Carey cleaning rod is carbon fiber reinforced and virtually unbreakable. The smooth surface will never scratch the interior of your flute.
