Unprecedented Intermediate Flute Design
The Tomasi Series 09 intermediate flute is an impressive step-up instrument packed with high-quality appointments. This value-packed intermediate flute gets a pure, clear tone from its silver-plated body, open tone holes, and B footjoint. Boasting a comfortable offset G key system with French-style ring keys and a split E mechanism, the Series 09 has a delightful feel that responds to the nuances of your playing. Helpful additions for advancing players include a Silver Light headjoint with a grenadilla lip plate which makes getting a round, full tone easier than ever. Together, these features deliver just the right amount of resistance for both young players and older hobbyists. Beautifully made with a rich sonic character, the Tomasi intermediate concert flute is a superior step-up flute for passionate players!
Beginner-friendly Silver Light headjoint and silver-plated body and keywork
The Series 09’s Silver Light headjoint is light, responsive, and produces a refined sound — features that are must-haves for advancing players. Made from silver with a lower silver content than sterling silver, this flute gives players greater response and clarity, thereby reducing exhaustion. Meanwhile, an ergonomic offset G key system — complete with an accessible split E mechanism — gives players a lightning-fast feel as they fly through fast passages. And with a silver-plated body, the Series 09 has a pleasant feel that responds to the nuances of your playing rather than limiting your creativity and unique abilities.
Characteristic grenadilla wood lip plate delivers robust sound
Perhaps the most unique feature of the Series 09 is its grenadilla lip plate. Unlike other flutes with metal lip plates, the Series 09 presents a totally new playing experience that is characterized by responsiveness, a round tone that’s rich in harmonics, and a more robust overall sound. Students in particular will find that the grenadilla helps maintain their tone as they play, making practice sessions and performances enjoyable for players with lower endurance.
Tomasi: flutes crafted in Austria and played worldwide
Werner Tomasi’s musical journey began at just six years old and led him to the prestigious University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna where he continued his flute studies with Professor Gisler-Haase. Since 1986, Tomasi has completed a number of research projects with the Institute for Viennese Sound Style, all focused on flute construction and sound quality — a craft Tomasi came to admire. As a result, the Tomasi brand was born. Even today, Tomasi flutes are known for their unique construction, with parts often made from a range of materials including gold, grenadilla, olive wood, silver, nickel silver, and silver light. The outcome is an easily playable flute that feels custom made, without the made-to-order price tag. Musicians at Sweetwater hold the Tomasi brand in high regard, and we’re confident you will too!
