Mr. Kotato & Mr. Fukushima are excellent craftsmen who were working with Shozo at Muramatsu Flute in Japan from 1970 to 1980. Their performance is also same as professional player as to conduct flute ensemble, "PIACERE".

* What is Be-Mode/ Membrane Sound?
 
It's a additional device which produce a unique sound color.   Mr. Kotato developed the device to imitate the sound of Chinese bamboo flute.   It's installed inside the head joint and covered by thin membrane.  You can switch to Be-mode from regular mode by finger touch.   Because this device is only installed to Kotato flutes, more and more players who play jazz or original contemporary  music are paying attention to it.
