Mechanisms

Mechanisms commonly ordered on Boehm flutes include split e (offset or inline) and the c# trill key. We also make ergonomic adjustments for the hands of the flutist, for instance, moving the foot joint table closer to the right hand to alleviate any stretching to reach the rollers, or making a slightly longer g# spatula to help the left hand pinky lay more naturally.
We have the skill, tooling and technology to build other mechanisms as well, such as the new Murray Mechanism/ Laszewski Scale flute. The mechanism shown here allows for optional half-hole venting in the upper register for intonation.
At Tom Green Flutes, our policy is to continue to offer flutists the latest options and advances in acoustics and technology at the same high quality and reasonable price as our standard flutes.
