Electric Flute

The Electric flute: the vibrant voice of Sterling EQ’s Sound 

The electric flute is the defining voice of Sterling EQ’s signature sound, leading our ensemble with its vibrant, dynamic energy. This exciting instrument commands attention with a bold tonal range, effortlessly shifting from high-energy, electrifying passages to nuanced, expressive melodies. Its sleek, amplified design offers a unique auditory experience, setting Sterling EQ apart from other electric string groups.

Carina Bruwer’s use of the groundbreaking glissando headjoint (the only one in Africa!) enables bold, virtuosic slides and unprecedented techniques, adding a modern edge that transforms the traditional flute sound into something entirely innovative, creating an ultra-modern sound unlike any classical flute. Traditionally a controlled, graceful instrument, in Carina’s hands, the flute becomes something entirely different – rocking, soaring, funky, jazzy, and beyond – truly electrifying!

As the focal point of our performances, the electric flute captivates audiences with its versatility and innovative effects, whether through exhilarating solos or seamless interplay with the electric string section. This instrument not only elevates our sound but also adds a striking visual element that enhances our live shows. Sterling EQ celebrates the electric flute’s ability to merge classical elegance with contemporary flair, creating unforgettable musical experiences and setting us apart in the world of electric strings.
