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-Z1RE is supplied with an Altus Z-Cut headjoint which is designed to offer
ease of articulation with projection and precise focus of tone. The French pointed
key arms add stability and strength to the offset G key mechanism. The headjoint,
body tube and keywork are all silver plated nickel silver. Open hole model with offset G key.
