Description

Azumi flutes are a combination of  handmade headjoints, produced by the world renowned Altus,  with a high quality flute body and mechanism (produced by Azumi). The headjoint design is one of the most important elements in influencing the characteristic of any flute´s tone. The significance of the headjoint inspired the founder of Azumi flutes – Shuichi Tanaka to produce a handmade headjoint combined with a flute body that is affordable, yet of a high production quality which led to combining the Azumi flute body with a handmade Altus headjoint. With this vision the Azumi flute series was born – to satisfy the different demands of the intermediate and the more advanced musician. The ethos behind Azumi flutes is to offer players a flute with which they can develop their playing to advanced levels at an affordable price.
The Azumi AZ-S2RE is supplied with an Altus S-Cut Sterling silver headjoint (handcut in Japan) which has an oval shape to the embouchure hole providing a rich and colourful sound with slightly more blowing resistance than the Z-cut. The addition of a solid silver headjoint adds more power and tonal quality. The French pointed key arms add stability and strength to the offset G key mechanism. The body tube and keywork are all silver plated nickel silver. Open hole model with offset G key.
 

Azumi flutes are available in two different series: 

The Z series for easy articulation, powerful and precise focus of tone

The S series for beautiful open tone with increased positive resistance
