This Flute Sparkles

“I bought a Miyazawa Boston Classic 14K gold flute on June 5, 2012. The flute has a sparkle, vibrant, full, colorful, and responsive sound with very smooth and fast key action. I love my new flute and I play it everyday! Thank you Miyazawa for all that you have to offer me! I am so happy with my Miyazawa flute!”

My Miyazawa Made Me a Better Player

“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!”
