This handmade Miyazawa MX-1 headjoint is fully made of silver. The tube and lip-plate are made of Britannia (.958) silver, while the riser, that has the highest influence on the sound is made of .990 silver, the highest purity available.

The Miyazawa MX-1 style headjoint is characterized by a centered, focused sound that is easy to control. The dark harmonics result in a dense penetration that is consistent throughout all registers. With an ample amount of resistance, this style provides a solid foundation for articulation.

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.

Throughout the years, Miyazawa has developed a significant range of headjoints with all their own character.
