This instrument spoke to me. We were on the 2011 Christmas tour, we had an afternoon to kill in Bristol and we found the Trevor Jones brass and woodwind shop on Christmas Steps. Trevor usually has a good range of second hand instruments in the shop and I tried this Miyazawa flute and it had to be mine. I’d tried a few other top-end flutes and I couldn’t really tell the difference, but this one was bright and quick and light, so it came home with me!
