as a first view the head seems to be good enough.the embochoure is oval like.but the sound? in the site there is no sound clip,so i have to pay it,try it,then if i dont like it i will return it.please,if somebody owns it could be very helpful to tell his opinion.thanks.

It seems that no one here has played or even heard of this headjoint, so you probably will not get any opinions.

There is another problem with answering your question. When playing the flute, a portion of the sound is attributable to the headjoint but the rest is attributable to the individual person. If you play that headjoint and then I play it, we will not sound the same. A good flutist can also deliberately change the sound of any headjoint by adjusting their embouchure.

Agreed, in all aspects.
