Grenadilla piccolo headjoint.
Entirely handcrafted by Adam Pettry, a young independent craftsman based in Atlanta, USA. La mécanique des flûtes is the first — and currently the only! — workshop where his instruments are available outside of the United States."
 
Offered in four variations: 
EDISON : “Our first design, and the most popular amongst piccolo specialists. Named after Thomas Edison, oval in shape, this cut features unique undercutting that reduces turbulence to create a lush sound with a liquid core that blossoms as it leaves the stage. It is a universally adaptable cut that offers endless color in any playing environment.”
 
CURIE : “The first of our squared designs. This cut is engineered for a large, bold sound with textural complexity derived from minimal overcutting and undercutting. Named after Marie Curie, this cut features moderate resistance and tonal flexibility that allows the performer to paint an aural canvas with an endless spectrum of color.”
 
GOBLE : “Named for Katherine Goble-Johnson, this is an oval wave cut that features an oval embouchure hole and custom carving that supports a player's launch into the piccolo stratosphere. Full bodied across the spectrum, this cut features moderate resistance and a plush texture throughout its range. One of our most popular cuts.”

JOHNSON : “Named for Marsha P. Johnson, this cut breaks from the 'norm' as a squared wave as opposed to a traditional oval. This is a cut full of confidence and determination. A transformative chameleon of sound, this cut is bold and daring while also offering a gentle hand to the player as they transition from flute to piccolo.”
 
Pettry headjoints can be paired with most American piccolo brands. For other manufacturers, an adjustment may be necessary; this can be performed at La mécanique des flûtes with no obligation to purchase.
