This is not just a flute — it’s a statement. The Sankyo 14K‑4 is built for the elite flutist who refuses to compromise. Every inch, every whisper of resonance, is engineered for brilliance, depth, and pure artistry. If you’re investing in a flute that gives you that sound, that look, that presence on stage — this is it.
What Makes It Legendary
Full 14‑Carat Gold Body
Headjoint, body, footjoint, rings, posts (säulchen) and rails (schienen) - all 14K gold. Unlike lesser models which may use gold just for the tube or body only, the 14K‑4 extends gold to all major structural and acoustic components.
Gold Tone Holes (Drawn or Soldered)
You get the option of soldered tone holes, which add even greater tonal richness and clarity, especially in the upper and lower registers , smoother transitions, more resonance. If you prefer a slightly different feel, the drawn chimneys version is also possible.
Standard & Heavy Wall Tubing Options
Even at 14K, Sankyo offers a “Heavy” wall option (approx. 0.35 mm) in addition to the standard (~0.30 mm). The heavy wall gives more mass, darker, more powerful sound, especially useful for large halls and solo performance. The standard wall is more free‑blowing, with more sparkle and agility.
Premium Mechanism & Style
Sterling silver keys (which give that durable snap, while complimenting the warmth of the gold).
Choice of offset G keys, open holes (French pointe arms), with options like Split E mechanism, D# roller, C# trill — all those refinements you expect at this level.
Springs may be in white gold or other premium alloys (depending on configuration).
Sound / Tonal Performance
Rich, full-bodied, dark‑warm yet brilliant when needed.
Superior projection - this flute holds its own in large auditoriums and orchestras.
Very responsive articulation: attack is clean, but colour and sustain linger beautifully.
Excellent stability across registers; thanks to its build, tone across all octaves is very consistent.
Aesthetic & Prestige
When you hold it, the weight, the gold sheen, the engraving — it signals you’re playing with something rare.
It’s prestige, but also craftsmanship - Sankyo is handmade, with rigorous quality control, and only a few of these exist.
If you want maximum warmth, richness, elegance, and presence — if you want your flute to literally sing in every hall, solo moment, or orchestral texture — the Sankyo 14K‑4 is the pinnacle.
