After all these years, the 24K gold model is finally getting the recognition it deserves. All this time, people have been complaining about how pure gold is too soft or what not, yet Sankyo led the market and so came after 2-3 other makers also making a 24K gold flute. If only US makers could start making them in 24K, that would be great.
No harm but was looking at the barrel didn't see anything specifically stating that it was gold seen others stating that 10k. 14k. Etc if it doesn't state it would be worthless in value. Though it is a nice job.
The 10k Sankyo is indeed engraved "10K" on the barrel...and regardless of where the engraving is located (on many flutes, it's quite small on the back of the barrel or the body), it is still gold, and therefore hardly worthless ;-)
Very nice flute plus you bring the quality of the instrument out like the way you said that all parts are made in-house great job😅

Which is the name of the last piece?

Lovely flute but do they do the pinless machnism that cuts down on binding keys.
Sankyo does not do pinless
