Founded in Japan in 1969, Miyazawa is a well-known handmade flute making company. Musicians such as Joanie Madden, Ian Clarke, Tadeu Coelho, Jill Felber, Mihi Kim, Epstein and Helen Manente are among its users. Miyazawa uses a French straight needle design and a synthetic button cup holder, and uses a 3D programming cutting machine to create a variety of mouthpieces to meet the needs of different players. It also created the unique Brögger system, which broke the 100-year-old tradition of flute making. The Handmade Flute Model 402 is a recommended model with a Brittania sterling silver mouthpiece and Straubinger leather pads, a French open-hole model with a sensitive and clear tone, priced at $6,645, which is more suitable for playing contemporary music.
