Hi Joanna, the slanted rod is only on FULL Brögger System flutes. The Miya 101, 202, and 402 are partial and have the straight rod. These flutes have a *partial" Brögger System.
I tried a Miyazawa 402 (with MX-1 headjoint) earlier this year and fell in love with it. Compared to my Azumi, I found the Miyazawa a lot lighter and easier to play. It was like bending down to pick up a barbell marked 50 lbs. and finding out the ends were balloons. I expected to need a lot more effort because I was used to needing more effort. What I found was I relaxed a lot more in my hands and body. And I enjoyed playing more because I wasn't trying so hard.
@@ginagamba omg i know this is 7 years later but i currently own an azumi az3 and will be taking a miyazawa 602 out on trial soon, so excited and can’t wait
Bruh, your videos are literally the absolute best to play in the background while lazily practicing. I just got a new classical guitar and the first thing I thought was "it's gonna be so fun playing Bach while listening to Joanna talk about flutes"
Miyazawa Player here !; currently own a 104p or a p401. Blah blah.... Awaiting my Brittania as Silver from flute Center... Can't wait to get it along with my Hammig Piccolo... Thank you for being a spokes woman for this company.
Loving your videos, Joanna. At 5:50, you say that you don't feel the need to squeeze the keys for certain notes, and you attribute that to extra efficiency gained from the conical tone holes. However, my Pearl 795 (also pinless, with cylindrical toneholes) gives me the same response you described (and holds that adjustment for a long time). Couldn't that just be the work of an excellent technician? I certainly think so...
Yup- just tried a Miya 202 model at the Shimamura Pepe store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. For a crap re-learner like me it was more than good enough. Very smooth keys, easy tone production. It has similar properties like JAF describes here- almost plays itself. But ended up buying a Yamaha 517 at their huge eight story store in Ginza. The advantage there was I could try four of the same model for comparison. It was more hit and miss at the other chain stores, their inventories were varied...
I just purchased a Miyazawa 102 with brogger system. I wanted a step up in a flute from my Armstrong and the Miyazawa was just that; excellent! The price was only 3.2k.
Thank you so much for your in depth reviews! Could you review the remaining Miyazawa headjoints too? I’ve learned so much in your videos in the past day of binge watching than I learned in a band setting over 7+ years. You’ve inspired me seriously take up flute again. Thank you!
I have a Miyazawa! Not a clue what model though...! I wasn't very experienced when I tried flutes, but my parents said they noticed the sound was much better than whichever other one we'd narrowed all of them down to! I love the case... but my flute does rattle a tiny bit (I'm not sure which part of it!) if I shake the case upand down :/ At the same time though, there's not been any damage over the 6 years I've had it, and it has accidentally slid/flown off a bus seat once...! Also, I noticed pretty quickly that the bottom of the middle joint was digging into the case where it rests - kind of wearing away a ring into the velvety lining (perhaps that's why it was rattling?) - so I just put a square of craft felt over that part (no glue, just rests there) to stop it from doing it more.
The Mx 2 head joint reminds me of my head joint because the front of the lip plate is flat like my headjoint. I had no idea that Miyazawa used Britannia Silver.. I thought it was just Altus. For me, I prefer the Mx 2 over the Mx 1
I'd like to hear some modern comparisons to golden age ?48 -- 68?, 30's--40's Haynes and Powells commercials and soldered tone holes as well as some blind testing of Sonare/Amadeus, Di Zhao. Lots of cools stuff! Great job!
Hey Joanna I have two questions if you don't mind OK if your focusing your embouchure and your note your playing does not come out is it a leak or are the pads bad? and second what is your opinion on pawn shop flute and or piccolos quality Luke how do you feel about getting a flute or piccolo from a pawn shop
I know nothings perfect but I noticed that the badge on the French style case is sitting off a bit to the right side down other than that it's a very nice case plus the flute is beautifully made with such innovation with that mechanism construction. I wonder could you do a review and demo on the Nagahara flute sometime. Think you.
I think it's so interesting how different can flutists/schools of teaching think about air use to differently to essentially achieve the same result. Never thought about the spinning balls of air before until now. :)
+Mike Martinez Absolutely. As you get more and more advanced, you learn more about conflicting schools of thought, all from which you can draw useful skills. Always good to learn new perspectives!
JustAnotherFlutist I totally agree. My undergrad was a completely American way of playing and my masters teacher was a French Man, Jean Ferrandis, and he completely evolved my playing for the better! So I'll definitely keep your way in mind next time I practice. One can never have too many tools in their musical tool box :)
Interesting and a totally different world from mine, where I play either two pieces of furniture, or else the major flute-related mechanical schism is whether your keys are post or block mounted.
+Ben Vongsurith The full Blogger system involves the Blogger thumb mechanism and the double conceal tone holes. The Brannen has the pinless mechanism. Honestly, it just comes down to personal preference in terms of how a flutist would like them.
I am looking for a new flute, because my teacher said that my flute I play now is for beginners and I should buy one that is better. I was like "How the heck should I know what flute I want?" My flute I have is the Yamaha 211, a students model. Short story, I started in 2011 and the yamaha flute is my third flute, because I had some very bad flute to begin. My teacher then bought a new flute for me. (The other two were used for several years, they are flutes for the beginners in my village) . So since then I have my yamaha flute. It never bothered me, the flute is good and because it was new when I got it I never thought of changing my flute. Honestly I thought of buying it. So my teacher now said I should get a flute with a silver head joint or completely made from silver. So I was looking on the internet and I discovered the yamaha 372-H. It has a B foot joint, silver head joint and french open holes. It's about 1600CHF. Today I watched this video and you really made me to look for a miyazawa flute. And really, I found one. I think I'll buy a new flute in fall, I'll go to the store and try my favourites and look which flute will choose me😜
Are all Miyazawa parts made in Japan OR are the mechanisms jobbed out to 3rd world countries? I had my eye on a Powell and when i heard smaller parts were manufactured outside the main plant, i got cold feet. The same with Trevor James and the list goes on. There is an old adage, What they don't know, won't hurt them.
Hi Jo, spec for spec, how does miyazawa compare to muramatsu please? I know the fleet cheese is the fleetest in any case but it would be good to know your take on general quality. Can I ask also how you would factoring Mateki and Powell, again, comparing spec/price. For example of those brands which $3000 flute is the best which $6000 flute is the best et cetera. Thank you
hallo there Joanna that flute you where demonstrating is lovely job. I would love to see a 14 k gold one plus the other models you showed on other videos such as the Altus etc where great to. Would gold flutes tarnish as much as silver ones or silver plated flutes. Sometimes I've often wondered are they overpriced because of that problem. I suppose this is just a cosmetic thing because of what happens in the air and ones chemistry in there hands etc.
Hi, I am looking into trying out a few flutes from the Flute Center of New York. I was wondering if you are mailed out a trial flute or flutes, would you have to purchase a flute after doing a trial, or is it okay to just want to try out the instrument and then return these instruments without having to do a purchase?
Thanks for the in-depth review! Very helpful. The one thing I could use in addition to all the useful information you've given, would be a point where you play both head joints right after one another, without a lot of talking in between. It's easier to hear the differences between the two that way. Alternatively, you could provide the times at which you play each below the video, so that people can navigate to them. Thanks again!
Just to let you know when i saw your video on beginning on the flute, you are the person to convince me to do the flute. I was between the flute and the violin but you convinced me to do it. Also this might sound bad, but I did it because it is a smaller case. I know bad, right?I love you videos so much! You are my role model! Thanks for making me pick the flute! Also how long have you been playing the flute? I've been playing for 5 years. I know I basically just started. And did you did any school performances like solo and ensemble or like honor band? (If you had it where you lived or there was no, maybe it's just my state). I subscribed and I love you so much!!!! ( hope this gets out into a "I am bad at replying to comments" video!!)
Real talk - have you played on a 14k riser vs a 18k riser? Do you notice much of a difference between the two? I've read a little stating the 18k is a little darker, but I figured I'd ask knowing you've played on a number if headjoints from the Flute Center in making these videos over the years. Hope you're well!
Could u test and old flute from the 60s 70s and 80s???? And see how they are compared to the actual crafted flutes??? I think old flutes are always better...i don't know why. Maybe the material used to build them, they give you a big deeper warmer sound even on a Yamaha 24 S or a Yamaha 211N. With no silver in it at all. What do u think about it? Once i play an old destroyed and rusty flute in a store and it sounded so amazing with free open response, extremely warm sound that o fell in love. i couldn't believe. Obviously i didn't buy it for the bad condition of the metal
JustAnotherFlutist I have and it's a beautiful piece of music from the classical era and I love your review videos I think your amazing I have always looked up to you your my favorite I'm glad I can relate to another flute player like me Thanks for inspiring me Joanna
I've heard from a flute shop in the U.K. that the new brogger system is hard to maintain and fix and repairers don't like them, has anyone else had a problem with the new brogger system? This flute shop told me they have stopped selling the new brogger system miyazawas because of this issue. I was very surprised! Has anyone else heard about this? I love my miyazawa but have an older model. Not sure what to advise to pupils thinking about brogger as the system hasn't been around for that long yet to see how it lasts over time? Not sure!
The Brogger system is proven as it has actually been around for a long while now. I would use the other two shops as one of the three makes all sorts of odd claims about flute makes. and it probably says more about the business doings of the shop than reality. Do you choose your flute on account of the repair person not being up to much ? .....
Anyone tried a Miya BR958 (Vision or Elite) version? Curious to know if there is a huge difference from the Miya 602. Looking to purchase one real soon.
8:07 As a violinist that enjoys your videos but knows nothing about the flute, I appreciate the inclusion for non-flutists :D Random flute knowledge might come in handy some day, right?
.... :-) Lucky guy ;-) ...if you ever meet them again: tell my regards ;-) ...what about yours "JAF"... ...by the way Martin: did that help your flute playing? 8-I ... :-D
Color me confused but lets say you do poke a pin though a plug. Normally they aren't made of silly puddy and are fairly strong as they do need to plug the holes. it barely takes any force to remove the plugs from my instrument I feel like half the time you'd go to remove the plugs with a pin and end up ruining your flute.
I have stretched ears and I'm in 10th grade and I want to be a professional flutist but my band teacher keeps putting me down because of my ears and calls me unprofessional and I was wondering if it's actually a problem
+JNmusiclover Nguyen If you aren't quite ready to buy but would like to try instruments, you should see if there are any flute festivals or conventions near you! FCNY frequently show up at these festivals/conventions too!
When I switched to my 402, I had Brogger, and suddenly I went from knowing how to fix all of the small problems on my flute to "Don't touch it. I'm not gonna touch it either. We're sending it away."

lol thats cute :)
I'm a tuba player, but I've ended up binge watching all of your videos. what have you done to me? xD
RANDOM FLUTE KNOWLEDGE NEVER HURT ANYBODY 🙃
ME THOUGH I EVEN SWITCHED FROM TUBA TO FLUTE SKFMNAJRISQ
I'm a flutist and I binge watch your videos :)
Miyazawa Player here !; currently own a 104p or a p401. Blah blah....
Awaiting my Brittania as Silver from flute Center... Can't wait to get it along with my Hammig Piccolo...
Thank you for being a spokes woman for this company.
I'm a Miyazawa player and love your explanations. Nice video. I'm late to watching this.

Man I would like a nicer flute, but they are sooooo expensive!
0Cherries :D Amen!!
+0Cherries :D That's why I haven't been able to afford to do these reviews until FCNY approached me! They cost a pretty penny to rent too O___o
JustAnotherFlutist
A pretty penny like one of those 1941 all nickel or silver (forgot which) pennies which are worth tens of thousands of dollars?
They are obscenely overpriced.
Thank you so much for your in depth reviews! Could you review the remaining Miyazawa headjoints too?
I’ve learned so much in your videos in the past day of binge watching than I learned in a band setting over 7+ years. You’ve inspired me seriously take up flute again. Thank you!
I've been watching you for months and you inspired me to join band and begin learning how to play the flute! I've just learned my scale :)
That's awesome!!! Keep up the great work! :D
JustAnotherFlutist I will! Thanks for the reply :)
Because of you I am getting the 602 amazing flute !!! I choose It over the Muramatsu GX which is great too
Awesome insight!!!! Please consider reviewing more Powells, Haynes, and Brannens.
+Karina Eijo On the list! 😊
that flute looks like it's really fun to play 😂they sound amazing !
+hunt artist 2 Very fun indeed! 😊
This is my flute and I absolutely adore it!!
thank you Joanna, now I know what I'm gonna buy in the future. by the way, your videos are incredible. love em!!!

Kiara Eijo You haven't tried it yet lol! One day we will!
+Karina Eijo Are you guys sisters? 😂
+Kiara Eijo Also, flute companies like to play with different metals! It's cool to see who comes up with what!
JustAnotherFlutist Yes we're twins actually and we both play the flute 😃
Also, I'm fascinated with the Powell Aurumite flutes, the fusion flutes( for example the brannen 85/15 flute) and Altus Atsui finish flutes 😃
3:42 you totally missed the chance to say "I'm just another flutist" LOL
other than that, loved the review!
I've totally done that before AND BEEN CALLED OUT FOR IT XD
I'd like to hear some modern comparisons to golden age ?48 -- 68?, 30's--40's Haynes and Powells commercials and soldered tone holes as well as some blind testing of Sonare/Amadeus, Di Zhao. Lots of cools stuff! Great job!
Im looking at piccolos from them. Definitely using your code
+Michael Vandigriff Awesome, thank you so much! Happy shopping! 😊
If this flute is too expensive for you, you totally can go with the miya 402 or even the 202. Both feature the incredible good mechanism...
+Nightingale Agree! 😊
Hey can you review the Pearl 525?
Hi Joanna, what do you think of azumi flutes if you ever played them?
I know I'm not Joanna, but I absolutely love my Azumi flute. It is one of the best intermediate level flutes in the market. I highly recommend it.
+aOIFe scully They're great! Just haven't had a chance to review them here yet!
Hi, do you know who makes daiichi seimitsu flute
Hey Joanna I have two questions if you don't mind OK if your focusing your embouchure and your note your playing does not come out is it a leak or are the pads bad? and second what is your opinion on pawn shop flute and or piccolos quality Luke how do you feel about getting a flute or piccolo from a pawn shop
Can you do an azumi flute review please? Tyyyy
+Prism♡Paradise On the list! 😊
JustAnotherFlutist yes and can you also talk about the "z cut" aspect of the mouthpiece (I think that is what it's called)
you should review Pearl flutes, preferably 505RBE or the quantz series.
+fernando perez On the list! 😊
Is possible by any chance to review the brannen and nagahara silver flutes? I know they're pricy lol but they're like...... DREAM FLUTES XD
I know nothings perfect but I noticed that the badge on the French style case is sitting off a bit to the right side down other than that it's a very nice case plus the flute is beautifully made with such innovation with that mechanism construction.

+Janis Cortese Not gonna lie, I have no idea what you meant but it sounds cool!
It's a wooden flute thing -- the precursors of the Boehm flute. I'm still finding my feet in this world ...
would you consider doing a review on the Di Zhao 500 or 700? :D
Amanda Reade and the di zhao 705
What are you thoughts on Miyazawa Brogger vs Brannen Brogger Mekanik since your main flute is a Brannen?
+Ben Vongsurith The full Blogger system involves the Blogger thumb mechanism and the double conceal tone holes. The Brannen has the pinless mechanism. Honestly, it just comes down to personal preference in terms of how a flutist would like them.
P.S. Wow, autocorrect is funny XD
can you please review Yamaha 500 series?
Yes! I really want to see that.
+Pantelis Stefanakis On the list! 😊
Could you please give me the fingering for the e7 ? I know the C C# D D# and F but the fingering I have for the E doesn't works...
Do you have a tutorial video about getting the ring out of the flute and the whole air spinning business for beginners to those concepts?

That is a really nice flute
+taylor michaud It is!! 😊
hi Joanna, just curious, can you maybe compare the Powell Conservatory Aurumite with the Burkart 9k/Ag in your next review? Thank you
Anyone tried a Miya BR958 (Vision or Elite) version? Curious to know if there is a huge difference from the Miya 602. Looking to purchase one real soon.
not a huge difference at all very small not worth the. extra money 602 is great
Hi Joanna just wondering is this flute suitable for intermediate players or for advanced players?
Trevor James Aria and concerti with wooden head joints
+Nicholas Le On the list! 😊
8:07 As a violinist that enjoys your videos but knows nothing about the flute, I appreciate the inclusion for non-flutists :D Random flute knowledge might come in handy some day, right?
I met Brögger and even went to a Galway concert together with him :)
.... :-) Lucky guy ;-) ...if you ever meet them again: tell my regards ;-) ...what about yours "JAF"...
...by the way Martin: did that help your flute playing? 8-I ... :-D
What is JAF? :)
....justanotherflutist... ;-)
I thought that the standard tuning for instruments was A=440?
+Justice Nugent Having flutes tuned at A = 442 allows for wiggle room in case you need to push your headjoint in a bit 😊
And this is generally the rule of thumb for North America.. most of Europe tuned to A = 445.
Color me confused but lets say you do poke a pin though a plug. Normally they aren't made of silly puddy and are fairly strong as they do need to plug the holes. it barely takes any force to remove the plugs from my instrument I feel like half the time you'd go to remove the plugs with a pin and end up ruining your flute.
+RememberPluto Accidental removal of the ring inside the key has probably happened enough times to warrant this note though 😉
can you do a piccolo tutorial?
+Esther Kang I have one on my Curious.com page! 😊
I have stretched ears and I'm in 10th grade and I want to be a professional flutist but my band teacher keeps putting me down because of my ears and calls me unprofessional and I was wondering if it's actually a problem
+Aspen R ... But how is that even a problem? O___o
Is honestly would love to try this flute out but I'm scared
+JNmusiclover Nguyen If you aren't quite ready to buy but would like to try instruments, you should see if there are any flute festivals or conventions near you! FCNY frequently show up at these festivals/conventions too!
Nice flute review! Very FLUTEtastic! (Did use that one already?)
+The Board Game Mage YOU'RE TOO MUCH 😂
Lol! Go easy on me, i'm just A MINOR!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
brava e bella
I will say, the Miyazawa flutes, and the Brögger system in specific, have great mechanisms, but they're a pain to adjust and repair
+Zachary Coronado You definitely need to get a certified flute technician/specialist to work on them 😊
Omg another review !!!!
+Adrian Tan WHEEEEEEEEEE
do pearl flutes please???
On the list! 😊
I love my Miyazawa, it's not the same one though
Oh, boy! Why those nice toys are SO expensive? (rethoric question)
queen
+brody black *blush* 😊
informative video 🙌👍👍👍👍
+jeremy Thanks! 😊
When I switched to my 402, I had Brogger, and suddenly I went from knowing how to fix all of the small problems on my flute to "Don't touch it. I'm not gonna touch it either. We're sending it away."
but did it break often? im kinda interested bc i know how to fix my Yamaha but i want to upgrade
I'm a viola and flute player
We all want all the flutes but...we don't have any money.
You should buy yourself this flute
does anyone know any youtubers that are like joanna but make videos about trumpet? someone not too serious
Haha......Those cost a lot tho......
Having edits every two seconds makes your video extremely jerky and difficult to watch.
