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-Z2RE is supplied with an Altus Z-Cut Sterling silver headjoint which
is designed to offer ease of articulation with projection and precise focus of
tone. The addition of the 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.
