JP 111 MKIII Flute C Silver Plated Superior grade student flute with an excellent response specifically designed to support a novice player right up to the higher grades. Supplied with good quality case, case cover and maintenance materials and set up to ensure high performance. Superb!

Like the tenor (JP042V) and sop (JP043) I recently bought, the MK3 flute and MK4 clarinet have lived up to my expectations. The flute has a clear, even sound throughout and the lip plate design enables one to obtain a much even legato control even at pianissimo. I used it in anger on a show recently which entailed a lot of unison flute with trumpet and tenor, and the intonation is superb. The clarinet also has an even, clear sound and for a resin based student model it can only give confidence to a young player. I'm going to try it with a wooden barrel and bell on my next show and have no doubt that it will play as well as anything I have previously used.

For us guys who have been in the business for some considerable time, to be able to use such instruments as these is refreshing and exciting - a new lease of life in a way. They are such a joy to play, but because of the testimonials you must be getting from me and my ilk, please don't let the makers get swollen heads and hoist the prices!

Best regards,

John Franchi

About the JP111 MkIII

The JP111 Mk III is designed to give young flautists an instrument with features comparable with the ones found on a first class flute in combination with an attractive price. I am happy and proud to point out that this flute in my opinion shares the following features with a first class flute:
· A beautiful, rich and mellow sound which is flexible and has a potential of tonal colour changes;
· An even sound quality in all three octaves;
· Good and stable intonation;
· A well balanced and solid key mechanism;
· Lip plates which enables a smooth and fast articulation;
· A reliable and airtight padding;
· An attractive design;
· First class materials and the highest level of craftsmanship, which guaranties a top quality flute with a long life.

The JP 111MKIII headjoint is developed to enable every flautist to produce a personal, natural, expressive flute sound with warmth and projection, combined with a facility to create different sound colours and a bouncing, fast articulation. Head joints and lip plates are hand carved by craftsmen of highest distinctions.
