Muramatsu Flute, with heavy wall 9K tubing, silver mechanism silver posts, and silver rings. In-line G, B-foot with D# roller and Gizmo, C# Trill, and 9K crown

A beautifully resonant tone with a huge first octave, clear and balanced middle, and ringing high register is what makes this 9K Muramatsu so alive! Rolled tone holes provide a smooth legato in the sound and also a soft yet fluid feel in the mechanism. Speed, agility, and ease are just a few words that come to mind while playing this flute. #60388 plays like a much heavier 14K flute and yet is lighter in weight and more flexible in rapid playing. The sumptuous sound is attributed to the .017, heavy thickness of the bore making this flute perfect for an orchestral player who has the responsibility to project, blend, and everything in between.

The Muramatsu sound is distinctive, as it offers a voluminous sound with a thick, broad core. It is no surprise that Sir James Galway has such a vast history with Muramatsu. The pads here are in good, but, played-in condition. The care of the flute has been meticulous and the overall condition of the flute will leave little maintenance for years to come.

No dents, dings, some marks from routine wiping. Excellent condition.
