Muramatsu Flutes
Muramatsu Flute is a flute manufacturer founded by Koichi Muramatsu. It is probably the oldest Japanese flute company, having manufactured the instrument since 1923. Their handmade flutes are made from sterling silver; 9K, 14K, 18K, and 24K gold; as well as platinum. The 18K, 24K, and platinum flutes may be purchased by special order only. Many artisans who have worked for Muramatsu have also created many of the new companies in Japan that make high-quality handmade flutes.
The factory Muramatsu Flute MFG. Co., Ltd. is located in the city of Tokorozawa, Japan. The sister company that sells the flutes is Muramatsu Inc. and is located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with branches in Osaka, Nagoya, and Yokohama in Japan, and dealers all over the world.
Famous flautists who use this brand include James Galway, Sharon Bezaly, and Lizzo.
