Muramatsu
Flutes
Since the first
Muramatsu flute was created in 1923 by the late Koichi Muramatsu,
thousands of artists worldwide have chosen Muramatsu over all
other brands. Today the factory carries on the same tradition of
excellence in flute-making under the direction of his grandson,
Akio Muramatsu. Every flute that bears the Muramatsu name is
built with the care and precision that has earned Muramatsu its
reputation as one of the world's finest professional flutes.
Today Muramatsu sells more professional model flutes worldwide
than any other flute maker.
EX Model
The EX model is our most economical model flute, yet it offers
the same high quality Muramatsu workmanship you will find on our
higher priced models. The hand-cut, solid silver headjoint on
this attractive instrument is carefully cut and matched to a
silver clad body and key mechanism, the same reliable key
mechanism used on our most expensive flutes. This affordable
model is designed to give years of pleasurable music making. The
North American EX is stamped MA on the ribbing, assuring our

against which all professional flutes are measured. It comes

9K, 14K, 18K, 24K Gold and Platinum Models (available by
request only)
Muramatsu flutes of gold and platinum stand in a class by
themselves. These are the most revered and sought-after flutes
in the world. Muramatsu flutes made of 9k, 14k, 18k, and 24k
gold, and those ever-rarer instruments made of platinum
represent the ultimate instruments. Each one receives many, many
hours of hand work. The precision and mastery of workmanship put
into the making of each instrument is reflected in every
beautiful phrase expressed by the performer. Hand engraving is
an option on gold flutes, and standard on all solid platinum
instruments. All North American gold and solid platinum flutes
offer the D# roller as a standard feature, and are stamped MA on
the ribbing, assuring our customers that their flute was made to
North American specifications.
All flutes come with a professional case, case cover, and new
owner kit, as well as a certificate of authenticity from
Muramatsu America. We also provide a written one-year warranty
on service and adjustments, and a lifetime warranty on all
structural components.
