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
