Lejeune Standard

The Standard model D-flute is a flute that combines properties of the Pratten model and the Rudall&Rose model. It not only allows you to produce a very powerful sound, it also enables the more experienced musician to explore the tonal subtleties that are so typical for flute music. The overall sound is sweet with a powerful bottom D, and an effortless second octave. It is very responsive and easy to play, making it an instrument that is interesting for beginners as well as for advanced players. If you're not sure which one you want, this is the one we recommend getting!

The Standard flute is available with up to 8 keys: D#, F short, F long, G#, Bb, C and a pewter-plug C-foot with both the low C an C#. All keywork is block mounted. Pin mounted keywork can be done on request. There is usually a waiting time for keyed instruments, please contact us for more information.

Unkeyed flutes are offered in African Blackwood and Boxwood, keyed instruments are also offered in Blackwood and boxwood and in Cocus for 6 or 8 keyed instruments. Because this wood is so rare (and expensive!) we don't make flutes in Cocus with less than six keys.

All flutes come with a tuning slide. The headjoint can be half-lined, lined with German silver or lined with sterling silver. Flutes in Cocus always come with sterling silver lining and a screw cap to adjust the headjoint's end cork position. The middle piece of this flute, the body, can be made in either one or two pieces.
