Hi guys,

I need experienced flutists advise about those two brands for me to consider, it could make me move forward easier to choose between the two brands, if you already have these two flutes, if I do not go with these two, the third option which I'll state at the end of this discussion. So!!!

I am planning to upgrade my flute (to buy a new one with silver body). So which flute would you recommend to get it? Now, my main and important question is not on the head joint and the sound which one sounds better, because it's up to the player only, I am not asking this, everybody knows these.

I am focusing on the body (including the foot joint). Which one is more durable, which one is more adopts to fit other head joint perfectly (for example, Miyazawa head joint)? What are the detailed and exact specifications of each body? I tried to do the research but unsuccessfully.

I thank you guys for your experienced answers on these two flutes.

(Oh, yeah, the third option would be the Miyazawa flute, I played it, and it was like perfect to play it every notes and so smoothly, it was like made for me. The price is different though. :D I haven't compared it to the Muramatsu yet. I am focusing right now on those two options stated above.)

Anybody have any experience with these two flutes?
