A Tornado is the strongest demonstration of wind power on our planet and it has inspired the TORNADO FLUTE BOOSTER (TFB).
In fact, a tornado has a tapered shape; so is a flute head joint.
Many players notice that their flute is responding better after 20-30 minutes of playing.
The instrument and the player's muscles are then warmed-up.
If you look at the cork plate inside the head joint at this moment, you will notice that a ring of saliva
has formed at the corner of the cork plate and the head joint tube. This proves that this area is weak
of wind circulation, resulting in a waste of power for the musician. The TFB cancels this negative effect and
recuperates the lost power.
This device is correcting the head cork plate shape from a flat surface to a shape similar to the base of
a tornado and defines the eye of a tornado in your flute. It accelerates and regulates the wind spin in the
entire flute creating many advantages for the player as described below.
The Tornado Flute Booster is available in four finishes: thick silver plated, 14K gold plating, solid silver (3.65 grams) and 10K solid gold (4.2 grams).
