This is an open-hole, B-foot instrument built to Miyazawa’s renowned precision standards and intended for advancing students, conservatory players, and professionals seeking a responsive, reliable flute.
The flute features a silver-plated body and mechanism with sterling silver components, including a sterling silver headjoint tube marked NS MZ-10 with 925 silver and 990 silver construction as stamped. The instrument is engraved Miyazawa Flute, Iijima Japan, confirming authentic Japanese manufacture. Keywork is smooth and precise, with open holes and B-foot configuration clearly present.

Included is the original hard case, which shows wear from normal storage and transport but remains fully functional and protective.
