ABOUT MARAMATSU VINTAGE FLUTES

WHAT ARE MURAMATSU VINTAGE FLUTES?

As an authorized (1988) Muramatsu technician/dealer/lover/fanatic, I prefer those that were made in the 80’s and 90’s (serial numbers up to ca. 55000).
These great Handmade Muramatsu Vintage Flutes have the following significant values:
– Rich- and homogeneous bel-canto sound;
– A never-failing-mechanism & pads that hardly have to be fixed or adjusted!
(Unless not badly mistreated. Primarily by woodwind-repair persons; and/or lazy- quick-profit-focused flute-technicians; and/or other loose cannons);
– Traditional Muramatsu felt pads that last 4-5 times longer than any modern-style; patented; exorbitantly expensive pads! (Such as the various versions of M-pads, Straubinger, Pisoni S2, Gold-pads and others).

Luckily, I still own some Brand-new Vintage EX, GX, DN, SR, PT-P models, and sell them to connoisseurs.
Regretfully, it’s the last stock of Brand-New Vintage Muramatsu Flutes. No Brand-New Vintage Flutes will ever be available anymore, worldwide! (Unless somewhere hidden).

It’s like the Saxophone Selmer mark VI phenomenon, if you are familiar with the history of Selmer. I also buy pre-owned (1), authentically overhaul (2) and sell used Muramatsu Vintage Models so if you have one or want one, please contact.
(1) Only authentically repaired/overhauled in the past or (preferably) never repaired at all.
(2) With the original Muramatsu spare-parts and technique as originally the model was made.
Thank you for your attention!
