Michel Parmenon at his workbench.
Continuing the centuries-old
tradition of extraordinary French flute making, Michel
Parmenon handmakes flutes characterized by meticulous
craftsmanship, a flexible timbre, and an elegant design.
True to the tradition of French handmade flutes, all
Parmenon™ flutes feature soldered toneholes. While
traditional in quality, Parmenon flutes are thoroughly
modern in scale and response, and feature handmade pads
incorporating the latest technology. Parmenon flutes also
feature a Dynacork™ headjoint cork assembly, which permits
an airtight seal while allowing the headjoint tube to fully
resonate throughout its length. Several distinct headjoint
styles are available, as are traditional and innovative
options. Each flute is equipped with a leather covered
French style case, case cover, and wooden cleaning rod.
Fully warranted for one year. Special orders may require a
deposit.
