Discover the refined tone and craftsmanship of handmade Japanese flute making with the Muramatsu EX Model Flute, available at Irvine Art and Music. Featuring a hand-cut solid silver headjoint paired with a silver-clad body and key mechanism, the EX model delivers the same meticulous attention to detail found across Muramatsu's full line, making it an excellent step-up instrument for advancing students and serious players ready for a professional-grade flute.

Tsubasa Headjoint for Added Clarity

This flute is fitted with Muramatsu's Tsubasa, or “wing,” headjoint, which incorporates subtle risers along each side of the embouchure hole. The design is intended to give players enhanced clarity and depth of tone, offering a distinct playing feel while still showcasing the hand-cut silver craftsmanship Muramatsu is known for.

Offset G Key Mechanism

The key mechanism is configured with an offset G, positioning the G key slightly closer to the player’s hand for a more natural, relaxed grip. This configuration is a popular choice among players who prioritize comfort during extended practice and performance sessions.

Precision Japanese Craftsmanship

Every EX model is silver-clad throughout the body and key mechanism, with drawn tone holes and an open-hole configuration standard, reflecting the same production standards applied across Muramatsu’s higher-tier instruments. Each flute built for Muramatsu America is stamped “MA” on the rib, confirming its Japanese manufacture.
