Miyazawa's 'Pinless' left hand mechanism represents a significant advance in technology and hand craftsmanship, resulting in a mechanism of incomparable quality.

All Miyazawa flutes, with the exception of the PA-101 models have a pinless left-hand mechanism. With the Miyazawa's new 'Pinless' left hand mechanism, all left hand keys are individually set on a single long rod which is secured at the kingpost.

A bridge rod connects all keys for reliable adjustments. The bridge rod is positioned under the left hand mechanism, resulting in a sleek design and quality precision.

Benefits of this design include:

	Stationary left hand rod decreases friction on the mechanism, allows for more stable adjustments, and eliminates binding which can occur on traditional pinned mechanisms.
	Bridge rod joining the Bb connector (1), Bb kicker (2) and Bb-A adjusting tab (3) adds stability and strength to the mechanism.
	Design of long rod insures no king post wear.
	Stable design provides a smoother, quieter mechanism.
