Fergus Davidson Professional Grenadilla Piccolo Headjoint

Manufacturer's Description

I began making piccolo headoints after finally taking a piece of Pink Ivory that I had been given 15 years previously, to a flute maker, restorer and flute historian and someone who has become a dear friend and advisor to me, Robert Bigio. Robert gave me a day of instruction and guided me towards the path of buying machinery and tools to ply a craft I knew little about but had been using almost my entire life.

Our Description

As well as being one of the top freelancers in the country, Fergus Davidson is also an accomplished craftsman, using his vast experience to manufacture headjoints that aim to make playing the piccolo a little easier and more enjoyable. These headjoints are used professionally by a growing number of players across the UK and Eurpoe, they are available in a range of woods and to fit different brands. 

"I was always moving the cork position to get the richest and best sound... With this new mechanism, the ability to move the cork assembly has been made easy" 

"This is simply the best headjoint I have ever played."

“The lower register has a wonderful resonance and depth of colour, but I particularly like the singing quality of the upper register."
