Couldn’t be happier. Muramatsu GX - Offset G, Split E and C# trill.

I didn’t buy this instrument without a lot of thought beforehand. The price was a big leap for me so by necessity there was a 5 month wait from deciding to go for it and pulling the lever. I had to sell a few treasures and also add to that with slicing off a bit of my meager income while waiting. This was the absolute highest I could afford to pay and, turned out it was worth every penny. This was a step up from an intermediate machine made, plated Yamaha that wasn’t a bad flute but sounded pretty thin compared to recordings of pro players I’d been listening to. Yes, technique is a big factor in the tone these players achieve but so were the instruments they were playing. And yes, many are playing $50-$100K beauties, and surely deserve them, but I’m as happy with my investment as they likely are with theirs. I’ll be gleefully playing my Muramatsu as long as I have the breath to do so. It’s got a slightly dark tone that is exactly what I was looking for. Low notes and harmonics alike are more alive than I’d been used to. And it’s also just a beautiful, intricately crafted piece that’s eye popping to look at as well. So yeah, I’m really pleased.
Also a big thanks to The Flute Center for getting it out to me so fast. I noticed that they got a lot of love from the online community which influenced my decision on where to purchase. Turned out to be another great choice.
