Briccialdi Flutes is an Italian flute manufacturer. Flutes are developed by the company especially for professionals featuring soldered tone holes, synthetic pads, gold parts, and various headjoint styles. The company is owned by its major supplier, Suberatum Music. The company is headquartered in Italy in Imola, Udine, Venice, and Soverato [1]

The company name is named after the Italian composer and flute maker Giulio Briccialdi, inventor of the B-flat thumb key for the Boehm flute

Ownership

Since 2007 Briccialdi Flutes has been owned by a series of Italian flute workshops under the corporate name Suberatum Music.

The various Italian Suberatum Music workshops cooperate with each other, and each of them contributes to a production stage. Briccialdi Flutes produce and sell all the flutes direct to the public.

Titanium parts

Briccialdi Flutes produces titanium flute parts (headjoint, stopper, and crown). The titanium stopper is a device that replaces the standard cork stopper. It allows the headjoint to vibrate more freely thanks to the very small contact surface (only one small rubber gasket, installed and centered by hand) and extraordinary titanium lightness. The titanium crown further reduces the stopper's overall weight [2] [3]
