Questions about Guo

Where are Guo instruments made?

Guo instruments are manufactured in mainland China, utilizing a combination of automated processes and skilled artisan craftsmanship within their own facilities.

Are Guo flutes suitable for professional players?

While initially aimed at intermediate players, Guo's professional-level Grenaditte and New Voice series have found favor with experienced flutists seeking a distinct sound and modern design.

What is the significance of the 'Slate' material in the New Voice Bass Flute?
