A Studio-quality Pickup Head for Flute
The Tomasi MicroCork is an amazing-sounding flute pickup head tailor-made for rock, funk, jazz, electronic, and other contemporary musical genres. This piezo-style pickup allows for complete freedom of movement onstage and offers an open, voluminous sound with an expansive lower register and a pleasant softness in the higher frequencies. You get near-zero structure-borne sound transmission, ensuring absolute isolation, even in extra-loud environments. It's also highly resistant to feedback. The MicroCork installs effortlessly in your flute's headjoint, replacing its cork and crown without any modifications to your instrument. To top it off, it's highly resistant to moisture. Whether you use it to amplify your flute onstage, record it in the studio, or drive effects pedals, the Tomasi MicroCork is one of the most effective all-purpose flute pickup heads you'll find anywhere.

Delivers excellent performance in a myriad of applications
Powered by +48V phantom power, the Tomasi MicroCork can be used in a wide variety of musical situations. You can use it in a live sound scenario by connecting it to a mixer or PA system. You can connect it to an audio interface for recording to your computer or smart device; you can also connect it to guitar, vocal stompbox effects, or other processors.
Installs effortlessly with zero instrument modification
Installing the MicroCork on your flute is a piece of cake. You simply mount it in your flute's headjoint in lieu of a typical cork and crown — no modifications necessary. It's suitable for all flutes, thanks to an adjustable crown and thread system.
