The Brögger System™, Danish flutemaker Johan Brögger’s latest innovation, is available only from Miyazawa. Featuring an innovative pinless mechanism with a curved coupling rod construction, enhanced ergonomic design, and precise thumb key mechanism, the Brögger System™ will help elevate your performance. Other benefits include:
The Brögger Thumb Key Mechanism™ is a pioneering design that eliminates the necessity of flat springs and provides a more secure, comfortable fit in a flutist’s hand. Traditional thumb key mechanisms require flat springs which contact the body tubing of the flute. Whenever the thumb B or Bb is depressed, the flat springs rub on the body tubing causing friction and wear. The innovative Brögger Thumb Key Mechanism™ enables the use of the same springs as on the mainline keys with additional desirable advantages.
