I would get a magnifying glass to read the serial number, then ask Muramatsu. Does anyone have a passing knowledge of this era of flutes? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Curiously, it is not marked Tokorozawa as the more modern flutes.
There appears to be numbers on the trill key plate but they are too small (for me) to read. It is marked the muramatsu flute then in smaller script underneath muramatsu flute - mfg co - tokyo. It has a silver plated body and head and is the model where there is a brace/linkage between the foot C# spatula and the key cup. I have purchased a vintage Muramatsu flute. The following flutes have been reported as either lost or stolen. It is provided as a free service to the flute community. ** ** As of July 31/05 - All reports must include a POLICE REPORT NUMBER. **All reports must include the SERIAL NUMBER. You are surely aware of the price-war out there in the flute world but – the good news is – that my price policy for the Muramatsu top-models assure you the best price you can possibly get (worldwide including at the Muramatsu shops). Of a Muramatsu flute bear the last 2 digits of the serial number of the flute (main body) and I sell them only as such.
