Thanks, you are right, there is a very small and unclear engraving that I haven't noticed. It's written 3B so it should be MZ-3B which I don't find among new Miyazawa head joint styles.
thank you very much!

Hi, I have an old Miyazawa pa 201R for sale, and some people asked me about the head joint cut but on the head joint is not indicated anything related to the head joint, and the only thing written is the material (925). Does anybody have an idea how i can know the head joint type.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I don't mean that Muramatsu is better than Miyazawa, I meant specificly Muramatsu Ds model maybe is superior to Miyazawa 402 model, at least in term of cost, a new Muramatsu Ds costs about 50% more than Miyazawa 402 and it is completly made of solid silver (including keys).

Hi, I want to upgrade my flute from an intermediate yamaha flute to a professional one. I have searched for used flutes and I have found two good options, but unfortunately both are in different cities than where I live. The person with Muramatsu ds-rci is selling it for 3200 euro which seems a good...

Have you ever repadded a flute, using normal f...

Thanks for your reply! I have already searched on the internet and I figured out that they held their classes only in the us and since I live in Italy I can not attend these lessons, in fact i am so interested to attend these lessons. I have some old flutes, I wanted to try to change the pads using ...

Hi everybody,

I tried to search through google for a place that I can buy straubinger pads, But unfortunately i am not able to find any place, which seems strange to me. Does anybody know a place from which I can buy straubinger pads? or alternatively other high quality pads??

Thank you in advance.
