Sankyo Flute Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sankyo Flute Manufacturing Co., Ltd, located in Sayama, Japan, produces hand-made flutes, piccolos and head joints at the professional level. A number of prominent flautists, such as Walter Auer of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, John Curran of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, and Young-ji Song of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, play Sankyo flutes. (see website)

The Sankyo flute facility produces approximately 350 hand-made silver, gold and wood instruments and many silver and gold headjoints every month (see website) for worldwide distribution. Sankyo Flutes are currently distributed to North and South America exclusively through Gemstone Musical Instruments, an Elkhart, Indiana-based musical instrument producer and distributor and owner of Gemeinhardt Flute Company, the world's largest exclusive manufacturer of flutes and piccolos.
