Shigenori Kudo is a Japanese flutist based in France who is considered one of the world's top soloists. Top prize winner of the very first Jean-Pierre Rampal International Flute Competition, Kudo performs with leading orchestras and conductors around the world, and is a professor of the 'Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris' and 'Tokyo College of Music'."This new flute, the 900MV & 800MV Series, is truly special. If you ever have a chance, just try playing a simple melody on it. Ideally, have someone listen to your playing. You will discover how easy it is to express yourself musically and to articulate phrases more beautifully than ever. Even when you add subtle accents, the flute responds effectively and musically. This remarkable instrument allows you fully bring out the unique musical qualities that are only possible with the flute."
Type M Headjoint
Emphasizing the ability to freely produce the widest possible tonal range, we designed this headjoint to achieve a sound that delivers a rich variation of colors and feelings.
Improved Scale Design
The 900MV & 800MV Series has a unique custom tuning that simplifies musical expression.
Acoustic Annealing
To achieve the proper sound balance of the flute body, the instrument is produced through a special acoustic annealing process that gives the metal optimum density for superior tone and a sound with greater warmth.
Interior Flat Cup
With conventional flutes, the shape of the cup inside and outside are identical causing sometimes improper pad seating. In order to stabilize pad seating, the inside shape of the cup has been redesigned to be perfectly flat allowing for better pad seating.
Left Hand Pinless System
To improve the playing ease of F and F# in the third octave, a pinless system has been adopted (for models equipped with an E mechanism).
Case
Luxurious case and cover are designed for the 900MV & 800MV Series.
