Miyazawa Headjoint Gold (New)

Miyazawa is particularly noted for their wide range of handmade headjoint cuts and styles, each with their own tonal color, response, and projection. The price of each Miyazawa flute includes the player's choice of headjoint style, though Miyazawa headjoints are also available for separate purchase - invaluable for beginners looking to upgrade their machine-made flutes for more flexibility and color, or for professionals looking for new color and texture in their sound.

Miyazawa Gold headjoints come in 9k or 14k Gold and are available in either the MX-1 or MX-2 style. Additionally, every Miyazawa headjoint can be finished with optional lip plate and crown engravings.

The MX Series headjoints feature a contemporary crown design and a golden-etched Miyazawa logo to emphasize their new, contemporary take on sound.

MX-1 - Characterized by a centered, focused sound that is easy to control. The dark harmonics result in a dense penetration that is consistent throughout all registers. With an ample amount of resistance, this style provides a solid foundation for articulation.

MX-2 - Open sound with a tonal complexity that allows for great freedom of expression. Full-bodied and responsive, while articulation is crisp and clean. Able to accommodate a high volume of air, this powerful style provides expansive projection with great stability.

9k Gold - 9k gold is the ideal combination of the desired tonal qualities of both silver and gold. With abundant harmonics and structure, 9k gold provides a stable sonic foundation and a secure feeling when played.

14k Gold - 14k rose gold has a density with rich overtones, a wondrous dynamic range, and endless tonal variety – peerless qualities that put it in a class by itself.
