About North Bridge

“In a market that is saturated with dull sounding instruments, North Bridge step up flutes shine brightly. Great work from a company that understands what young flutists are really looking for.” – Paul Edmund-Davies

Making the step up to a musical instrument offering professional features is an important decision for all musicians. The step-up instrument is the bridge that often transforms the budding student into the professional artist. Choosing the right instrument can lead to significant musical progress, as well as great success and accomplishment. North Bridge offers a unique family of intermediate level flutes, which allow the flutist to find their musical voice and to develop a full, rich, and beautiful sound.

The flute headjoint is one of the most important components of the flute, providing the greatest contribution to the flute’s tonal quality. All North Bridge flutes feature a sterling silver headjoint handmade in the USA by flute artisan Chris McKenna. For over 30 years, Chris McKenna has been crafting some of the finest flute headjoints available. The art of creating a flute head joint requires many years of experience, bringing together a blend of technology, craftsmanship and artistry. The McKenna headjoint is designed and crafted to be both responsive and flexible while offering superb projection and control, making it easier to hit high notes and perform at softer volumes.
