Advanced student Wooden Flute Headjoints – Alexandre Lavoie Workshop
Based in Montreal, Quebec, Alexandre Lavoie is both a flutist and artisan, trained in classical and jazz performance. After studying under flute maker Jonathan Landell and completing a specialized program in digital programming and machining at the Aerospace Trade School, he has dedicated himself since 2017 to crafting high-end wooden headjoints.
Each Lavoie headjoint combines meticulous craftsmanship with technical precision. Alexandre draws inspiration from the unique tonal qualities of different woods to offer flutists a rich and expressive sound palette, perfectly suited to the needs of professionals and passionate players alike.
The Lavoie Étude wooden headjoint is inspired by the Symphonic model, offering a similar playing experience while remaining more accessible. It is crafted in grenadilla, the wood of choice for its exceptional tonal qualities: warmth, richness, and distinctive timbre.
Key differences from the Symphonic headjoint lie in the materials and wood grade:
• Aluminum rings and brass tenon, compared to sterling silver or gold on Symphonic models.
• Grade B wood, preserving excellent sound quality at a lower cost.
• Standard-shaped lip plate, while retaining the design and feel of the Symphonic headjoint.
This headjoint delivers high performance at a more affordable price, making it ideal for:
• students and developing musicians,
• passionate amateurs,
• wind players doubling on flute (e.g., jazz musicians).
Playing is smooth and expressive, with a warm, rounded, and woody tone. Projection is impressive, thanks to the careful selection of wood and the artisanal expertise that defines all Lavoie headjoints.
••• We encourage you to request a trial from your dealer to experience the full richness and subtleties of Lavoie wooden headjoints. He will adjust it for a perfect fit with the body of your flute
A wooden headjoint requires special attention:
• wipe carefully after each use,
• oil both inside and outside regularly,
• avoid sudden changes in temperature and humidity.
Accessories:
• a complete care kit,
• a charming protective fleece “sock”, handcrafted by Dôme France.
