This flute is very durable, and feels substantial in your hands. It is not bulky, however is so well made it will never wear out.
It has a lovely voice, even key action, and sturdy feel or grip.
It does need air, and some wind stream focus however is not overly difficult to play as are some of the newer heavier wall Muramastu flutes. The embouchure cut is semi oval with more of a square design, providing a rich full rounded tone.
Today's price new would be about $5500. For US customers, this would be a custom order.
Condition Pre owned. Mint (not new) per NFA standards. No work needed (our tech will go through the flute in detail before we ship).
This flute is clean, and is ready for a player. The pads are not brand new however are very clean, seal well and do not need changing.
