Azumi flute with a clear, full tone
The Azumi AZ-Z1-E is a silver-plated flute with a closed-key system and C-foot. The combination of a 925 sterling silver lip plate and riser with the distinctive Z-cut headjoint gives this flute a clear, full tone and very accurate intonation.
The Z series is immediately recognizable by its more rectangular embouchure hole, known as the Z-cut. On this Azumi flute, that shape contributes to the tonal character, while the solid silver in the lip plate supports response.
Construction and mechanism of the AZ-Z1-E
The “ALTUS Handmade Z-Cut” headjoint is made of silver-plated nickel silver. The body is also made of silver-plated nickel silver, and the mechanism uses the same material with pointed key arms for added stability.
The Azumi AZ-Z1-E also features a closed-key system, offset G, E-mechanism and A=442Hz pitch. That configuration makes this flute a thoughtfully built instrument for players looking for solid construction.
