Passion
Our flutes hold a secret within their walls.
The extraordinary sound of a flute we craft
will come to life when
it is played and loved
by someone who matches it.
That special connection of flute and flutist is what we seek.
This is the pride of Sankyo Flutes.
Seduction
Musical lines and artistic analysis running through your mind. The physical memory of breath and technique. Sensing the integration of sight and touch and sound.
A passion to create.

"My Sankyo 24K flute allows me to play plenty of colors and dynamics at will. Everything is possible with this flute, from an incredibly sweet sound to rough accents, whatever I want. I am so happy to have 'met' my Sankyo 24K. There is no doubt that is has become a part of me."

"Sankyo and I are a love story that started 18 years ago. The incredible depth, elegance, and power of sound from my flute is a gift. Every single time I play it, I feel very lucky to play such a great instrument and to belong to this fantastic flute family. Every detail counts and every detail makes the difference. That's why I play Sankyo."

"I first heard the beautiful sound of a Sankyo flute when Alain Marion played in our lessons at the Paris Conservatory. I was mesmerized and knew I had to play one. I purchased my first Sankyo flute and fell absolutely in love with its rich sound, ease of articulation, beautiful color range, and responsive mechanism. I have tried many other flutes, but always return to Sankyo, because for me, Sankyo flutes surpass all others. My students who play Sankyo flutes are thrilled with their instruments and receive consistent comments from judges, audition committees and critics regarding the exceptional depth and individuality of sound of Sankyo flutes."

"I only play the Sankyo wood flute all year round and for all repertoire! The sound is the best. And the flute is a woodwind, remember?"

"My Sankyo flute made me fall in love with the flute all over again. I feel more connected than ever to the music and to myself, and it pushes me to always be musically curious and explore new possibilities. I am certain that this is the flute that will continue to inspire me and I cannot be more excited to grow together for years to come!"

“When I found my Sankyo flute in 2007, it transformed my flute playing in ways I never imagined: I discovered a remarkably rich color palette that offers me seemingly endless options in the tonal spectrum, the mechanism is superb, and the craftsmanship of the flute itself is aesthetically beautiful. When I play my Sankyo, the flute isn’t merely a physical part of me but rather, it becomes an audible extension of my emotions, allowing me to freely share what is in my heart with my audience.”

"When it was time to choose my forever flute, I bought a Sankyo CF 901. I have owned over a dozen flutes in my life, but from the second I tried a Sankyo, I knew it would be able to unlock the tone I have been searching for my whole life. The purity of sound, the balance and smoothness of technique; these are testament to the unique craftsmanship of Sankyo Flutes. Even after the most rigorous and demanding performances, night after night, my Sankyo gives me the confidence and reliability I need to focus on the music."

“As a contemporary music specialist, I played an extremely taxing amount of repertoire on my Sankyo for a decade and never encountered any issues with the mechanism. The instrument was always there to provide a voluminous tone, a versatile color palette, and a trustworthy touch.”

“These well-tempered flutes, free of any compromise, have a special, well identifiable timbre, a kind of velvet-like quality in the sound, still, they let the player’s individual sound get through easily. Who needs more than that?”
