Common Questions About The Miyazawa PA-302RH PCM
What does PCM refer to?
After lengthy experimentation and research, Miyazawa created the PCM-Silver alloy. This alloy contains 65% silver and other precious metals. PCM-Silver was developed from a desire to produce a material with a density greater than nickel silver and a hardness greater than sterling silver.
Is the Miyazawa Model 302RH PCM suitable for professional use?
Yes. This model is suitable for professional use, including conservatory study, auditions, chamber music, orchestral playing, and solo performance. Its materials, open-hole keywork, and performance-oriented design place it in the professional flute category.
What does the 14K riser change on this flute?
A 14K gold riser can influence the flute’s response at the embouchure plate and is often chosen by players seeking added tonal density, focus, and color complexity. On a model like this, it helps distinguish the flute from standard all-silver configurations while preserving the clarity and projection expected from a professional silver instrument.
