Traditional Pads

These are made of strong thin felt, backed by cardboard and covered with a double layer of treated membrane. The traditional pad is very stable in the most climatic of conditions and is also resilient and quiet to the touch of the flute player. Miyazawa flutes only include the finest quality traditional pad.

The Straubinger™ Pad - Standard on Type I-SS and Type II-SS (UK)

Straubinger Pads were designed specifically for handmade flutes. The design of the pad ensures that it is virtually impervious to changes in temperature and humidity that cause felt pads to expand or contract.
Straubinger Pads also have an extremely firm and flat surface. This creates a more precise seal, resulting in increased resonance and clarity of sound.

The highest quality pad on the market today, Straubinger Pads are the perfect match for the highest quality flute.
