If you buy a flute in Japan, then the buyer would be responsible for the U.S. After all, there's not much point in being in business without making money. Their price markup allows them to to do that, when necessary. I suspect that their deal with Muramatsu Japan says that Muramatsu America will handle and absorb the cost of all warranty claims on the flutes they sell here in the USA.

That markup is to cover the cost of shipping, import duties, etc., plus some profit for them. I think the reason for that is that since Muramatsu America didn't import it, they didn't get to add their markup over the Japanese prices. They will work on them, but at standard out-of-warranty rate charges. Minor clarification - Muramatsu America will not do any WARRANTY work on flutes that are not made for the American market. Muramatsu America will not do any work on flutes that are not made for the American market. Just remember it pays to be careful who you buy your flute from, cheapest doesn't mean the best source. If you are wanting to move forward I wouldn't go for an emersen.

I went to a Japanese flute fair and I tried the Miyazawa AZ i didn't like it at all, I tried the Yamaha 800 and 900 series Julius Baker models with the crystals in the keys way to sharp sounding for my taste, i like the powell's but not the price, sankyo I tried the solid silver otherwise known as the 901 loved it just not in my price range, i also tried the sankyo esprit limited edition the thin tube of. In terms of other brands it is all very personal and up to you. If you are serious about buying a sankyo flute I can recommend ishibashi their website maybe in Japanese but you can ring them up they have a lady that speaks fluent English.ĭolce is another good japanese retailer (the store in osaka has a guy that speaks excellent english), miki gakki is another one (don't speak english though) When i was in Japan in august I spoke with a sankyo rep and in Japan they do not sell the models with numbers (ie 201, 201, 401). The other thing about that site I would caution is that for sankyo they have the 401 on sale the 401 is not available in Japan the ARTIST is still the current model and there is a difference between the two models. In regard to the link .cc I would be very cautious they claim to be Japanese I know a lot of the Japanese retailers as I bought my last two sankyo flutes and piccolo over there I have never heard of them. Thank you for reading all of this, and I would really appreciate your opinions! I had no idea that the keys could move so effortlessly! So, please help me. Or should I consider other brands such as Powell, Haynes, Emerson, Pearl, and Trevor James? I REALLY don't want to keep playing on my Gemeinhardt 3SB after trying the Muramatsu and Miyazawa flutes. Judging by the price, they seem like they might be considered even better, but I would like people's input on this. I haven't played a Yamaha since my first flute, which was 10 years ago, and I want to know if they are comparable to the other flutes I have mentioned.

I also noticed the UK sites were cheaper too.ĪND THEN, I tried, and it had a Yamaha YFL-881H Professional for $5,999 (list price $8313), Yamaha YFL-774H Professional for $4899 (list price $6939). I was wondering how reliable this website was, and also if the price would drastically increase since their store is based in Japan and would have to come through duty/shipping. I have been struggling over this for almost a month, and I found a website called .cc, and their Muramatsu, Miyazawa, and Sankyo flutes are all at least $600 cheaper than the same models sold at the music store I went to. I have not tried the Sankyo models at home, but if I were to choose, I would get the 401.
I noticed that the Muramatsu sounded very nice in the high register, but I liked the very rich, purple tone I got with the Miyazawa in the low register. If I got the Miyazawa, I would get it with only the C# trill and maybe the Broegger.
The split E got in my way, and I don't want to put in extra money for the rollers. I recently took home a Muramatsu GX (don't remember the specs) and a Miyazawa 402 w/ split E, C# trill, C#/D# rollers, and the Broegger system. Well, I found out it was my Gemeinhardt 3SB when I tried out some new flutes. I've been feeling like I've reached a plateau in my flute playing and began to wonder if it was me or my flute. I have been playing flute for about ten years and am considering minoring in flute in college.
