Haynes Headjoint Cuts
Haynes currently offers two headjoint styles: Piedmont Cut and Nagog Cut.
Piedmont Headjoint
Named in honor of Piedmont Street, in the center of Boston, where Haynes workshop was located from 1953 to 2010 the Piedmont Cut is the quintessential Haynes headjoint - warm, rich and flexible - and is the default headjoint for all Haynes flutes.
Nagog Headjoint
Named after the Nagog wetlands that surround the current Haynes workshop in Acton, Massachusetts, the Nagog Cut features a thicker riser, adding more resistance and color to the sound without sacrificing articulation.
