This top-of-the-line intermediate flute is made special with the Galway Crusader C1 professional headjoint: a platinum-silver lip plate and riser on a solid silver headjoint tube. Gemeinhardt flutes have been the musician’s go-to for decades. The 33 Series is a clear step above the popular 3 Series, making this a premium choice for the advancing player, known for big sound, excellent intonation, excellent tone quality and ease of playing.
C1 Headjoint: Commissioned by James Galway, one of the world’s most celebrated flutists, the Galway Crusader C1 headjoint is revolutionary. Gemeinhardt’s special platinum-silver blend lip plate and riser bring many of the tonal benefits of platinum at a more attainable price. Platinum, typically found only on top professional flutes, adds depth, richness, and power to the sound. The cut and design of this headjoint are made for a big, full tone, dramatically enhancing projection and tonal color throughout all registers.
Classic 33OSHB Body: Gemeinhardt’s 33 Series (a step above the 3 Series) features upgraded materials and more advanced design for improved tone and intonation. With a solid silver headjoint and body, open holes, and a B footjoint, this model offers the flexibility and responsiveness serious players need as they continue to advance.
While this model has been available for decades, we estimate this flute was produced around 2015, with relatively little playing time over its lifetime.
