The Maesta gold flutes have wonderful, rich overtones, with a wide dynamic range. They are available in the facile brilliance of 10K, the opulent rose gold elegance of 14K, and the unique warm sensuality of 18K gold. These gold preferences can also be employed for the keywork, embouchure riser and/or lip plate, rings and posts, or just the headjoint tube. They can be fashioned using traditional soldered tone holes or contemporary drawn tone holes.
