Miyazawa Headjoints

The headjoint is the most personal part of your flute and, being the part where the sound-waves are produced, has an important influence on the sound of your instrument. Miyazawa headjoints are handmade and developed in collaboration with world-renowned flutists. The headjoints are available in various high quality materials and material combinations. Throughout the years, Miyazawa has developed a significant range of headjoints with all their own character. We are very impressed with the consistent quality that Miyazawa realizes in making their headjoints.
