Year of Manufacture was 1988. Not likely that Tanaka would have made a 1207.EdThomas wrote:Thanks. I know it is a very low serial number. Does that mean it was actually hand-made by Mr. Tanaka? I'm vague on the degree of his hands-on once he was established. I was told it is a heavy-wall.

Thanks. So it's a spring chicken after all. Barely wet behind the ears.
Sure is a nice flute! Responsive, with a beautiful sound. It is such a relief to play because all sorts of things I've been having difficulty with went away. I get the feeling that I've barely begun to tap its quality. For learning, it is reassuring to know that if I'm struggling with something, it is me... not the flute... and therefore worth working through with the expectation of improving.
