The entire development process for the MJ-II models took place at the Japanese factory. Mr Miyazawa personally supervises the entire production process in the manufacture of the MJ-II models. The perfection and quality of Miyazawa can therefore be found in every instrument.

New outer shape:The graceful and elegant new design already indicates that the Rondo is no longer just a beginner's flute. Its very elegant baroque shape has also been completely revised technically.It is intended for players who are already beyond the beginner's stage and want to approach a more flexible sound and greater dynamic potential.The instruments lie very harmoniously in the hand and are easy to grip.Improved inner workings:The new Rondo has the typical construction of ensemble flutes, which ensures a stable, warm and blendable sound.New innovative manufacturing techniques enable unrivalled precision.New key system:The new key system is immediately recognisable as stable and reliable. It is based on the historical models and has also been designed to be very modern and functional.Particular attention has been paid to ensuring that the large flutes can also be comfortably grasped by small hands.The fingering is the same as for the double holes. A rethink is therefore no longer necessary.Clear model range:The Flauto Rondo is a sophisticated instrument for more demanding music-making.There are therefore only those models that can fulfil this requirement. All flutes with baroque fingering now have double holes or double keys, because only they guarantee a clean chromaticism.Conclusion:The Flauto Rondo stands for a warm, balanced sound in all registers, which can be achieved without perfect breathing technique and which blends well in an ensemble.The wood of choice is therefore maple or pear wood. The rondo flutes are available in all sizes from the sopranino to the great bass!The new rondo flutes have thus been considerably upgraded and continue to offer excellent value for money.
