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.”

PRELIMINARY AEROSOL STUDY RESULTS

The safety of and possibilities for live performances during this age of COVID-19 has been on many of our minds. Round one preliminary results from a joint study on the flow and aerosol release pathways for several instruments including the flute is now available. You can access the report here.

Please be aware that this is a preliminary testing report. The next phase of this particular study will focus on improving aerosol capture and estimating emission rates. While further in-depth testing and analysis is necessary before reaching any conclusions, we believe that access to scientific data is important and thus chose to share this information.

While health and safety remain a top priority, we look forward to future live music concerts and events with great anticipation. In the meantime, keep making music! Remember that music is an essential part of human existence and has the power to lift us up. In the words of Plato, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”
