Miyazawa headjoints are designed in four different styles with varying amounts
of resistance. The price of each Miyazawa flute includes the headjoint style of
the player’s choice. Miyazawa headjoints are also available for separate purchase.

MZ-5: Classic version of a modern headjoint style with moderate degrees of
overcutting and undercutting. Slightly increased amount of resistance generally
works well for those who “coax” the sound from the flute and direct their
airstream when playing.

MZ-6: Modern style design with an open, warm sound. Works well for flutists with
a fast airstream and very relaxed embouchure. Plenty of harmonics and projection
characterize this headjoint cut.

MZ-7: Modern style headjoint with a generous amount of “spin.” Consistent
tone and response throughout the registers. Designed for flutists with a very fast
airstream and who seek a powerful sound with a large, controlled dynamic range.

MZ-8: Modern style headjoint with a well-defined rectangular shaped embouchure
hole. Generally works best for flutists who direct their airstream far downward
with a wide aperture.
