If it is a legit Miyazawa and you're the first owner. that's my opinion on customer service at least.

MIYAZAWA FLUTE SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBER

If Miyazawa has the serial number registered as one of their instruments that was tested and shipped out of their facility, then I don't see why they shouldn't honor a warranty for whatever market the flute was intended for. It had different springs and tension settings (which I actually preferred because it was more springy). I did notice that it was built to european preferences though. With that being said, the piccolo came in the shipping material FROM Yamaha with all of the accessories and certificates as well.

I was able to register my piccolo with Yamaha and I had full warranty benefits. I had no intention of doing business with them beyond the initial purchase anyways. It's a great little instrument that plays well. I too saved about $500 and I have absolutely no regrets. I actually purchased my Yamaha wood picc from them. The will get you in touch with Miyazawa headquarters. At the very least just send them an email. They have people around that can speak English and may be able to tell you where your flute was made. If all else fails, get on skype and call Miyazawa directly. However I would not jump to conclusions just yet. It is possible you got a modified Miyazawa. I know may players that do things like get the pads changed out, get key work done, etc. You may have gotten a flute that was customized for sale, but never picked up. I had to show the repair person a translated web page from Japanese to prove my flute model was real, and existed.(Even thought I bought it direct from Miyazawa in Japan!)Īnother thing to consider it Matthews music does repair and custom work. Americans are funny people when it comes to musical instruments. Apparently, Miyazawa build and distributes models for different world markets. They gave me the same speech about warantee etc. When I took mine in for a COA, I got a similar reaction. The term 'not built to American standards' does not always mean it is a fake. Most of the posts were good, and they seem to be highly recommended. I have read many threads about this store.

I had gotten another email just yesterday from Shivhan Dohse again, telling me that a flute from Matthew's Music is not an authentic Miyazawa, and that many things could be wrong with it including a different pitch, headjoint style, different pads (not Straubinger), and the quality of the mechanism.Ĭould this be true, that I had gotten an unauthentic flute from them? I had gotten a reply a day later from Shivhan Dohse in the Marketing & Sales department, stating that Matthew's Music was NOT a representative of Miyazawa, and that any flute purchased from them would not have the company's warranty nor would it be built up to the U.S standards. After I had left the flute shop, I jumped on my computer and began emailing Miyazawa's customer service, asking if Matthew's Music was an authorized seller of Miyazawa flutes. The lady at the flute shop asked me if I had bought it in the Netherlands, and had stated that the mechanism was different and that it was not built up to U.S standards. My Miyazawa is in the flute shop right now for a dislocated post due to an accidental whack at a moving chair. At first I was suspicious, but then I assured myself that it was not a scam when I saw how many of their customers were more than satisfied of their online purchases.

I bought a Miyazawa PB202 from them in January for around $500 off the actual price.

Has anyone ever heard of this music company called Matthew's Music from the Netherlands? They sell professional instruments on eBay for a fairly low price compared to the actual price on the market.
