About Sankyo Flute Headjoints

Sankyo is a Japanese brand that since the establishment in 1968 has built a strong reputation as producer of handmade flutes and head-joints. Sankyo means “The Three Sounds” in Japanese and the Sankyo trademark symbolizes the Japanese word ‘Hibiki’, which reflects the triangle formed by its three founders, emphasizing the sound as the essence of the music. Sankyo proudly presents the finest products of the flute maker’s art. Sankyo flutes and head-joints are acclaimed throughout the world for beauty of tone and evenness of technique. Each instrument is made from carefully selected materials (even 24K gold and platinum) and is constructed by highly skilled and dedicated craftsmen.

Sankyo headjoints offer new territories of expression. Considered the most personal part of the flute, selecting the right headjoint can magically transform the sound and response.

Fitting this Sankyo headjoint to your flute

There are no global standards for the size of the connection between headjoint and flute. Even flutes and headjoints of the same brand will not always fit perfectly. Fortunately, our flute repairman can make almost any headjoint fit your flute. This service is free of charge, but for this we need your flute in our shop to fit.
