The Nagahara Wearless Mechanism (U.S. Patent #6,812,391) was created to further improving the stability and dependability of our already highly acclaimed mechanism and key work.
The idea is simple but profound. Specially formulated plastic inserts are used at common points of friction to reduce playing wear & noise, and to provide a smoother action and response for an extended period of time. This also prolongs the life of the overall mechanism and will reduce the need for adjustment and eventual overhauls.

This ingenious idea will allow players to focus more on making music and less on whether their flute will perform consistently and without failure during critical auditions, demanding concerts, and recording sessions.

comes in three levels of installation:
- Type I: Basic (9 inserts)
