■C flute
■Head joint: Silver Am type
■Ring key: There is a hole in the part that is pressed with the finger.
The tone is bright, and the vibration of the air passing through the instrument can be directly felt with the fingers.
The advantage of this is that the hole is covered with the finger, making the instrument more stable to hold.
In addition, the key can be changed to a covered state by using a removable hole cover.
When removing the hole cover from the key hole, push it into the tube with a chopstick or something similar, taking care not to damage the instrument.
■Inline: The tone holes are lined up in a straight line, including the key for the ring finger ""G"" on the left hand. It is characterized by little unevenness in sound.
■E mechanism
A mechanism that makes it easier to produce the third octave ""E"".
■Tone hole: Pull-up curling
■Body: Cupronickel
■Keys: Made of nickel silver, silver-plated finish
■Accessories (case, accessories) are standard manufacturer specifications.
