My Project

Our flute section has some amazing performance opportunities this year. There is a flute solo in the marching band show, they will perform in parades and have other outdoor performances and they want to be heard.

Our flutes need Win-Defenders for outdoor performances.

The Win-Defenders keep the wind from interfering with the flutes' sounds and also help project more air into the head joint so that more sound is created during performances. The Win-Defender also works well when the flutist is performing into a microphone so that the wind is blocked out and the beautiful is heard.
