Abstract
A flute headjoint includes a chimney, a lip plate and a tube body formed from a refractory metal. The refractory metal can include tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, alloys of these metals and combinations thereof. The chimney and lip plate are attached to the tube body without the use of solder. In certain embodiments, the chimney and lip plate are attached to the tube body with bands. The use of refractory metals in the construction of the tube body may provide enhanced headjoint performance, and because the lip plate and chimney are not soldered to the tube body the components may be formed using a computer modeling and milling process that provides for accurate and consistent production of headjoint components.
