Hammig Piccolo headjoint cuts offer a unique balance of tone color, resistance, stability, and flexibility. They currently offer three types: the Hammig Cut, the Modified Wave, and the Modified Wave Thin. 

Hammig Cut Headjoint

The Hammig Cut is known for its dark, sweet sound and impressive depth throughout all registers. Players often appreciate its comfortable resistance, which provides stability while still allowing for strong projection and colorful tonal flexibility.

This cut produces a rich, powerful sound that works beautifully for players seeking warmth and complexity.

Modified Wave Headjoint

The Modified Wave Headjoint offers exceptional stability and control with a highly focused, resonant sound. Flutists often notice its quick response and wide dynamic range, making it a strong choice for players who value clarity, projection, and consistency across all registers.

The sound feels centered and powerful while remaining easy to control.

Modified Wave Thin Headjoint

The Modified Wave Thin combines the focused stability of the Modified Wave style with the added flexibility of thin-wall tubing. Its hand-carved raised embouchure plate helps create a responsive feel with greater freedom in tone color and phrasing.

Many players enjoy this cut for its balance of clarity, flexibility, and expressive potential.

Which Hammig Headjoint Is Right for You?

Players looking for warmth and depth may gravitate toward the Hammig Cut, while those seeking focus and stability often connect with the Modified Wave. Flutists wanting added flexibility with a responsive feel may prefer the Modified Wave Thin.
