Miyazawa Allowed Me to Grow

“When I was a senior in high school I decided I wanted to major in music, so my parents bought me an intermediate level flute. I broke through the wall on that in a year and half. This year, my sophomore year in college, my parents bought me a heavy wall Miyazawa with a gold riser in the head joint. I have grown so much by having this instrument, and I can’t wait to hear more great things come from myself while playing my Miyazawa flute!”

Reaching New Levels of Musical Expression

“I have been playing Miyazawa flutes since 1997 and bought my Classic Model with the Brögger System over two years ago. Recently I added a 9k gold headjoint and 14k gold riser. The tonal quality of the 9k is so warm and stable, it serves me equally well in large ensembles as well as chamber ensembles. Listeners often compliment me about the sound I get on my Miyazawa. I have also found that after two years, the Brögger System holds adjustment and is so quick and responsive, truly a mechanism you can rely on. Several of my students have purchased Miyazawas and they absolutely love them. Thanks again for making a flute that truly allows me to reach new levels of musical expression.”
