Dr. Jonathan Keeble

Performing on the Nagahara Full Concert Model:
A Conversation with Dr. Jonathan Keeble

by Jeremy McEntire
Described as having an “infinitely flexible sound, with many subtle colors,” Jonathan Keeble is among the leading performer/pedagogues of his generation. Known for his rich tone, effervescent personality, and nuanced musicality, he is in high demand as a performing artist and master class clinician.
Nagahara Full Concert Model:
Completing the Boehm Tradition
...Until the middle of the 20th Century, when recording industry stars began to emerge, the flute was recognized primarily as an instrument to provide color in orchestral and chamber settings. Even though the Boehm-system flute released in 1847 allowed greater projection and intonation over its conical-bore predecessor, limitations continued to exist with the instrument.

The Nagahara MINI Flute

The Nagahara MINI Flute:
A piccolo in the true Boehm tradition
...The Nagahara Mini features a body with a cylindrical bore and a tapered headjoint - a miniature flute! Because the diameter of the tube remains the same through the entire body, the length of the tube can be extended by up to three toneholes to allow for a low B, three half-steps below the lowest note of the conventional piccolo.
The Nagahara C# Mechanism:
Continuing The Boehm Tradition
...ln keeping with its continual commitment to innovation
and the evolution of the flute, Nagahara Flutes has
developed a new C# mechanism (U.S. patent
9,257,105) that solves the tonehole dilemma.
