Rare Vintage Muramatsu “Primo No. 21” Piccolo Flute – Handmade in Japan – As Is

A very uncommon vintage Muramatsu piccolo marked: “Primo” “No. 21” “Made by Muramatsu”

From Muramatsu America: Muramatsu only made piccolos for about 10 years. This model was made from 1955-1962. It is unplated nickel silver with drawn toneholes and tuned to 440.

An intriguing early Japanese Muramatsu instrument with wonderful vintage character, original fitted case, and an unmistakably warm old Muramatsu tone quality.

At the time of listing, I was unable to locate another example of this exact Muramatsu Primo No. 21 piccolo online.

Condition / Playability: -Produces sound and has a beautiful vintage tone character -Currently only some notes in the left-hand register respond consistently (Demo video in photo section) -Instrument likely requires professional adjustment, regulation, cleaning, and/or restoration. Assume it will need an overhaul -Has NOT been professionally inspected or evaluated -No guarantees as to the outcome of an overhaul -Being sold completely as-is

Cosmetically, the piccolo shows age, patina, finish wear, and signs of vintage use consistent with an older handmade-era instrument. Please review all photos carefully.

Includes: Original vintage fitted case with yellow plush interior

This is not being sold as a fully serviced performance-ready piccolo, but rather as a rare vintage Muramatsu instrument for restoration, collection, study, or display.

A fascinating piece of early Japanese flute craftsmanship that is rarely encountered.
