JLS Flute Headjoint Fitting Mandrel
Batch Built$163.50
Flute makers often use a burnishing method for expanding silver and gold headjoint tenons.
While most of this mandrel is tapered, our Flute Headjoint Fitting Mandrel is cylindrical at the area that supports the tenon. This presents a flat and cylindrical portion under the tenon over which you can burnish. Our JLS Double Handle Burnisher is a great burnisher for this!
Beyond the tenon area, there is a step up which creates a landing area for your burnisher. This is polished to eliminate marking your burnisher. The step also helps you avoid peening the end of the tenon.
This mandrel is short enough so that the head cork assembly doesn’t need to be removed while doing the fitting. The holding end of the tool is 1” in diameter and can fit most vices as well as our Flute Station tool holders.
As with all our JLS mandrels, this is made of stainless steel which is polished to maintain a great finish inside the headjoint while reducing maintenance that other metals require.

Batch Built is a description we apply to our machined tools that are periodically made in batches.
Each time we make a new batch, the product’s design, function, specifications, and materials are reviewed with the design and production teams. We are constantly improving our tools and finding ways to make them more economically.
Although we work hard to ensure our essential tools, pads, parts and supplies are always available, Batch Built tools are not in stock at all times.
How can I order Batch Built tools?
If a Batch Built tool is out of stock it cannot be ordered, but you can enter your email address on the product page in the field “Email when stock available” and click “Notify Me”.
We don’t want to hold up orders that include Batch Built items if they cannot be delivered, particularly if those items are not yet on our production schedule and have no ETA.
