| Featured Testimonial |
|
"I have owned other flutes on which I learned how to be a better player. But my Miyazawa is the only one that has made me a better player, and continues to every time I play it. Its dynamic responsiveness, range of coloristic possibilities, and light but ever so accurate mechanism have allowed me to become the player I had always heard inside my head. Now I can hear that player in recordings!"
- Lee Ann Stickney-Chivers
Flute Instructor, PVCC & EMCC
