Azumi flute with ALTUS Handmade S-Cut headjoint
The Azumi AZ-S2-E is a flute with an ALTUS Handmade S-Cut headjoint made of 958 Britannia silver. This gives the instrument a versatile, individual tone with slightly higher blowing resistance, which is useful if you want a bit more control in your attack and airflow. The lip plate and riser are made of 925 sterling silver, while the body is built from silver-plated nickel silver.
The standard pitch is A=442Hz. That makes the Azumi AZ-S2-E suitable for a commonly used orchestral tuning reference.
Construction and mechanism of the Azumi AZ-S2-E
This silver-coloured flute has a closed-key system, a C-foot and an offset G. For many players, that layout feels comfortable in the hands and keeps the fingering setup clear. The E mechanism adds to the technical setup of the instrument.
The mechanism is made of silver-plated nickel silver and uses pointed key arms. These increase the stability of the mechanism, contributing to solid and consistent operation while playing. If you want to try the Azumi AZ-S2-E yourself, you can test it at Magna Music’s store with advice from the wind department staff.
