  • Why I have to remove the cork?

    A Brief History of Cork Flute Stoppers

    Cork stoppers have been a part of flute manufacture since transverse flutes first came into common use at the beginning of the Renaissance, more than 700 years ago. It was discovered that cork was an effective stopper to seal the end and prevent leaks above the blow hole. Cork has continued to be used as a headjoint stopper to this day.

    Did you know that cork is used as insulation and for acoustic dampening in building materials such as insulation, flooring and wall tiles? It has been shown to limit acoustic vibration as much as 85%, especially within the natural acoustic range of the flute (of approximately 245 Hz to 2700 Hz). This same cork is what is used for stoppers of all kinds, from wine bottles to your flute. A standard flute cork is about 30 mm long. You can see in this table below published by Amorim, a major cork grower and manufacturer, that cork dampens the sound the most right in the middle range of the flute. The number 1 on the Y axis represents 100% acoustic attenuation.

    Cork stoppers are so 14th century. Why would you want to limit the vibration of your 21st century flute when there is newer technology that allows your flute to resonate freely?

  • What is the Celestine Flute Rexonator?

    New technology for the 21st century

    Unlike cork, this dampens the vibration of your headjoint, the Celestine Flute Rexonator works as a linked resonator. Not only is there minimal contact with the wall of the headjoint by the silicon O-ring (while providing a complete, air-tight seal), the Celestine Resonator actually works with the vibration of the headjoint to enhance resonance and projection.

    The Celestine Flute Rexonator:

    • Allows the full vibration of the sound waves to move uniformly through the flute.
    • Provides more acoustic space between the O-ring and crown than a traditional cork stopper, which allows more of the flute headjoint and body to resonate freely, unimpeded by a cork stopper.
    • Can be customized by adding one or two Celestine Rings, which allows the Celestine Flute Rexonator to provide the maximum resonant effect.
    • Is made of a thoroughly tested, resonant brass alloy. This alloy actually vibrates sympathetically with the headjoint and body of the flute providing maximum resonance.
    • Improves the balance of the flute, also customizable with one or two Celestine Rings.

  • How easy it is to install the Celestine Flute Rexonator?



  • What is the difference between the models of Celestine Flute Rexonator?

    Hi ,

    Thank you for your interest in our products. 

    Here are the differences between our Celestine models. The BASE model (CFR-0B-BASE), is the same basis of the Fit & Balance models but without the counterweight provided by the rings, it comes with 2 options of shades between bright and dark. This model was developed to interest those who are beginers in the world of music and for those who prefer to add only a little weight; but, achieve change in their instrument that they may appreciate without spending a lot of money.

    The other two models are the FIT (2 rings) (CFR-02-FIT) and the BALANCE (4 rings) (CFR-04-BALANCE), since the Base has a new and improved brass alloy and a new design that will allow you to achieve many more configurations so you may find your perfect and unique combination of settings (The Balance is the one that provides most of the options).

    These new models will far exceed the previous model. It is much more resonant, with greater possibilities of counter weight and balance more accurate, in addition to including 4 options in the colors of the tones from bright to dark, the rapid response and the articulation is amazing. In addition, the system is much simpler to configure than the Limited Edition models; although, it is not difficult just includes some additional steps. Once you find the perfect configuration for your flute according to your preferences, it will be installed in a second. All the flutists who have tried it, having used the previous model (not the Limited Edition) have acquired it because of this, they all comment that they cannot believe that we have managed to improve the previous system because it was already excellent, they are fascinated. We presented it for the first time at the NFA convention this year in Orlando and it was a total success.

    On the website you will find two models in liquidation in limited quantities, which use the base of the previous system and the installation mechanism of these are different, it may take a little longer first time users, we have videos of how to install it on our YouTube channel RFrolon. These are the LIMITED EDITION FIT (CFR-02-FIT-LE) and the LIMITED EDITION BALANCE (CFR-03-BALANCE-LE). The difference of these is that in spite of using the same base of the previous model, they come with the Rings of the new system that change in design, thickness, weight and alloy.

    The FIT comes with 2 rings instead of 1 as the previous model and the BALANCE comes with 3 rings instead of 2, and both include the 4 pairs of O-Rings that add a variation of tones from the brightest to the darkest to your preference

    Advantages of the Celestine system compared to any other stopper in the market:

    • It is not an accessory it is an adaptable component of the flute. Replaces obsolete cork without damaging or altering the original design using its own assembly screw.
    • It is a new system; stopper and resonator 2 in 1
    • Increase all attributes of any type, brand or model of flute, making it grow with a richer and clear sound, without spending thousands of dollars on new flutes or headsjoints
    • It’s fit is universal 
    • Completely eliminate the limitations that the instrument may have, allowing you  further development.
    • If you change your flute head, the brand or model of it, Celestine will adapt, maybe you just have to change the configuration.
    • It is built in a long-lasting material that does not lose its efficiency over time.
    • In addition to greatly improving resonance, vibration, balance, rapid response, articulation among other things, it allows you to always go further and achieve what you thought was not possible with that instrument before.
    • Will make a dramatic change in any type of flute from student to professional, including gold of famous brands
    • It allows the flutist to have a rich and unique sound without having to spend.

    The 98% of flutists choose the Balance model because it is the one with the most configuration options and where the change is more impressive, while more mass is more resonant and everything is amplified, the projection, the vibration, the articulation, the rapid response, the notes are more stable, clear and it is almost impossible to crack a note.

    It's time to uncork your flute and go beyond with a new technology system!

    If you have any other questions about any of the models, let us know, we will be glad to assist you.

  • I would like to try it first, is there any way?

    Thank you for your interest in ours products. If unfortunately, we do not have distributors in your country to do you can they perform tests, you can try it anyway; we offer all our customers 30 days to do all your tests and if you are not completely satisfied, you can return it and your money will be returned. We have had several people who, like you, have the same concern and have no place to try it, so they have purchased it to evaluate it with the peace of mind of being able to return it if it does not meet their expectations, but to date we have not had that situation. All those who have tried it, love it. The CFR is not comparable to anything you could have tried before. We are so sure that our resonator makes a drastically noticeable change and that is why we can offer this guarantee without risks.

  • Am I a professional flutist that CFR model should I choose?

    Thank for your interest in our products. If you are an advanced or professional flutist, I highly recommend you the Celestine Balance model; because it is the most versatile of all models. Very quickly it has become the preferred choice among flutists who have tried the product. The Celestine Balance has four brass rings that give you the opportunity to fine-tune the configuration of your flute to find the perfect configuration for your own flute, since it can be different in all flutes due to the combination of marks, headjoints and materials that each ones uses. The brass rings are adjustable, so you can move them to the position where you find the best balance and counterbalance and where you improve all the qualities of your flute. It also offers four sound options from brighter to darker tonal colors to choose according to your preferences. This new system helps you go beyond your expectation totally transforming your flute without spending lots of money. You will feel that your flute grows more than you ever imagined, simply by eliminating the impediment that the cork represents and replacing it with the Celestine as permanent solution. All ours products have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee or get your money back. We are sure that once you try this new product, you will be happy and never use a cork stopper flute again. The Celestine Flute Rexonator, can be transferred to any flute model that eventually wants to buy and, in general, will make a big difference. You may only have to modify the settings depending on your flute or head selection, although it may not be necessary. Anyway, I always recommend that you try it as it is already configured, but then also change the position of the rings in different positions to see further improvement with another configuration. With the CFR there are multiple options but you will find one that is the optimal and excuse for your flute achieving its unique sound!

  • Differences between O-rings colors

    On a scale of 1 to 4, where #1 is for brighter tonal colors up to #4 which is for the darker. Brown O-Ring to achieve brighter tonal colors. • Level of scale: 1 Red O-Ring to achieve bright tonal colors. • Level of scale: 2 White O-Ring to achieve dark tonal colors. • Level of scale: 3 Black O-Ring to achieve darker tonal colors. • Level of scale: 4

  • I just have to install it and that's it?

    It is important that you know that the configuration with which you received your ReXonator is one of the alternatives offered by the CFR, but it is not necessarily the best for your flute. If in that first test you do not get the desired results, it is because that is not the best configuration for your flute and you need to make some adjustments. That may happen when it is not installed or configured correctly. I recommend that you first check that your Rexonator is not liquidating, remove the headjoint and put the palm of the hand at the end and make some suction through the lip plate if your lip is sucked into the lip plate, it is well sealed if that does not happen, you need to compress the screw a little more so that the O-ring expands (but not in excess) so that forms a good seal. Another thing you need to do is move the position of the brass rings, example: Move all of them to the top and play, then you move them all to the bottom and try again, after leave one to the top and move the other three to the bottom and play again, repeat position changes until you find the perfect balance and setting for your Flute or Alto Flute, inclusive you may try with three or two brass rings. Although usually the most significant change is obtained with the use of 4 brass rings, it is not necessarily the case of your flute. In addition try with each one of the O-Ring until you find the unique sound that are you looking for.
