What is Be-Mode/ Membrane Sound?
It's a additional device which produce a unique sound color. Mr. Kotato developed the device to imitate the sound of Chinese bamboo flute. It also sounds like bassoon reed. It is installed inside the head joint and covered by thin membrane. You can switch to Be-mode from regular mode by finger touch. Because this device is only installed to Kotato flutes, more and more players who play jazz or comtemporary music are paying attention to it. Mattias Ziegler, Robert Dick and Peter Sheridan are the prominent successful players to use it.
