Miyazawa Silver Pre-Owned Head Joint-c9088

Miyazawa Flutes

Mr Masashi Miyazawa founded Miyazawa Flutes in 1969. Miyazawa successfully brought together traditional craftsmanship with advanced technologies to create outstanding instruments.

In the mid-1970s, Miyazawa partnered with American flautist P.L. West and developed the Miyazawa Improved Scale in addition to a new design for head joints. Determined to improve his instrument design at the turn of the century, Miyazawa introduced Johan Brogger’s ingenious cross-bar spring tension system (known simply as the Brogger system). Every Miyazawa creation exhibits partial or full Brogger systems, which contribute to an exceptional evenness of the mechanism.

Head Joint Testing

Head joints can radically enhance the sound of most flutes. With a vast array of headpieces made by several respected flute makers worldwide, each one differs by its embouchure cut, lip plate and material. Each head joint offers unique qualities, including wide-ranging tonal colours, projection, more/less resistance and ease of articulation.

Head joints come in lots of shapes and sizes. It is therefore recommended that you try the head joint either in our testing room at All Flutes Plus or by pre-arranged trial within the comfort of your own home.
