I look forward to getting my
headjoint. I enjoyed the Alexa Still
CD but the recordings of Aralee Dorough & Moshe Epstein were brilliant. I
have play them several times. They certainly demonstrate the possibilities of
the UpRite headjoint very favorable indeed.
|
|
I cannot tell you how happy I am with the
UpRite! The sound is great – with lots of colors with an easy high register
and good response. My shoulders, neck, and left arm and hand are freer than
they have ever been. Technical combinations which were always a problem for
me (due to tension in the neck and left hand) are now so much easier to deal
with. I just don't know how to thank you…
|
|
Just want to tell you again how thrilled
I am at the prospect of the incredible headjoint that makes my flute sound so
good and play so easily. You are indeed a genius, Sandy, as I have said many
times, and I am oh so grateful for your time and expertise in helping me find
a head that is really me.
|
|
Happy New Year! I am happy to report that
things are going well with the headjoint. I am really enjoying a lot of its
characteristics.
|
|
You are truly the God of flute headjoints.
These last ones are your best work that I've seen. Keep up the good work!

you in August.

Happy New Year! My husband and I bought a
headjoint for our daughter a couple of years ago. She is still loving it!
|
|
Now you have another happy customer that
wasn't there before.
|
|
Still loving my headjoint, after all of
these years.
|
|
It's time to re-insure my headjoint and
I'm sure, with the price of gold as it is, that the value on mine needs to be
adjusted upwards. Its #188, 14K gold that I bought in 1984. Still love it…
|
|
I play a Drelinger headjoint and have
since I was in grad school (on version four now, in regular use, and I also
have a Drelinger picc headjoint and a wooden headjoint by
Drelinger)…Obviously I am a happy customer …
|
|
I have owned a total of four Drelingers…I
have never been disappointed with what he has sent me.
|
|
My students and I have all been very
happy with our Drelinger headjoints…What is unique about Sandy's approach is
his ability to hear what the flutist
wishes for in his sound and to find a headjoint that achieves that for
the player. He brings a set of headjoints that mix the variables…The process
for me is like going to a great tailor instead of buying off the rack.
|
|
Thank
you very much for taking the time to work on my headjoint with me. The advice
you gave me for playing the headjoint has made all of the difference!
|
|
Thank you for your friendship, support
and belief in me. Your work and artistry has helped my efforts enormously.
