Sankyo currently offers three types of headjoint cuts when choosing your new flute: RT, ST, and FT.

RT Headjoint

If you like a solid, powerful sound with impressive clarity... pick the RT Cut.

The most popular Sankyo headjoint style, the RT Cut is a modified wave-style design. It provides a full, dark, and strong tone with a secure response, allowing flutists to utilize an endless capacity for their airstream.

ST Cut

If you like warmth, expression, and exceptional depth... pick the ST Cut.

The ST Cut is known for its rich variety of tone colors and smooth fluidity. It allows for spin and projection, making it a highly expressive choice for players seeking warmth in their sound.

FT Cut

If you like balanced resonance and crisp articulation... pick the FT Cut.

The FT Cut provides consistency between registers and is highly responsive. It is a reliable style characterized by balanced resonance and clean, crisp articulation.
