Miyazawa Headjoint MZ10, Gold Silver, w/ Platinum Riser

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.

MZ Series

MZ-10 - Allows the player to put a fast airspeed through the flute, achieving a rich and powerful sound. Characterized by plenty of lower partials anchoring the sound with a full harmonic spectrum. Flexible and responsive with a wide range of tonal and color possibilities.

Metals and Risers

Gold-Silver Alloy - An innovative composition made of 10 percent gold and 90 percent silver. Highly tarnish resistant, GS alloy combines the brilliance of silver with the textural warmth of gold resulting in a radiant, refined sound.

Platinum - Platinum risers have a dark, deeply penetrating sound. With noticeably increased resistance, many flutists comment that they can push the sound without the worry of cracking notes, and response to articulation is unparalleled.
