The 18K gold adds additional darkness to the variety of colors, turning the soprano nature of the C Flute into a more contralto timbre. Warm toned, 18K gold has a higher density and malleability in material which provides a comfortable resistance as well as timbre sophistication. This material has grown in popularity with professionals and performing artists.
