I got to play this flute on three separate occasions, and it was absolutely breathtaking.
Is altus flute a japanese brand pro#
In fact, one of my favorite flutes I’ve encountered in the past few years was a Miyazawa…followers of my blog and Youtube channel may recall the “Magic Miyazawa”, a 14K Miya body with a 14K Faulisi headjoint that was being sold by the inimitable Joan Sparks of Flute Pro Shop. Today, however, it seems that no matter how many you play, you are just about guaranteed to get a Miyazawa that plays smoothly and beautifully with little effort or compensation for intonation and resistance on certain notes. My distinct recollection of the brand from back then was that, when you got a good one, it was a VERY good one, but much like with Buffet clarinets, it behooved you to try a number of them. Since I played my very first Miyazawa flute in 1996, I would conservatively estimate that I have played somewhere around 200 of them over the intervening 18 years, so I feel like I have a pretty decent grasp on the marque, and I have to say they have continued to improve tremendously over the years. There really is just something for everyone!
Perhaps a reformulation is in order?), and the Miyazawa GS alloy, which contains 10.5% gold and 89.5% silver, a truly magical blend that fits in the low-karat gold category along with the Lafin/Brannen 15/85 and Hammig’s 15% gold alloys. (I’m still in mourning for the Modern Style key cups! They were absolutely beautiful.) Miyazawa has also been a big proponent of material experimentation…over the years, they have developed and made flutes out of such materials as PCM (a proprietary alloy containing copper, silver, palladium, and other precious and semi-precious metals), rose silver (a beautiful pink silver alloy which I wish they still made, but suffered some tarnish/discoloration problems, I believe. Another long-established member of the Japanese Flute Family, Miyazawa flutes have long been favorites of younger flutists seeking to push boundaries or somehow distinguish themselves from the pack much of this seems to be because Miyazawa themselves have never been afraid to be different.
