Azumi flute with open holes and B footjoint
If you are looking for a flute with more playing options, the Azumi AZ-S2-RBE offers plenty of scope. This flute has an open-hole system with ring keys, allowing additional fingerings and effects such as glissando, multiphonics and micro-intervals. The B footjoint and offset G complete the setup, while the E mechanism adds extra support in the keywork.
The standard pitch is A=442Hz. That makes this Azumi flute suitable for players who want an instrument built around this pitch while also offering extra technical possibilities.
ALTUS Handmade S-Cut headjoint in Britannia silver
The ALTUS Handmade S-Cut headjoint is made of Britannia silver (958) and gives this flute a versatile, individual tone with slightly greater blowing resistance. That added resistance can feel comfortable if you want more control over your airstream. The lip plate and riser are made of 925 sterling silver.
Azumi uses silver-plated nickel silver for the body. The keywork is also made of silver-plated nickel silver and includes pointed key arms, which increase the stability of the mechanism.
For flutists who want more from their fingerings
The combination of ring keys, B footjoint and the ALTUS S-Cut headjoint makes the Azumi AZ-S2-RBE appealing to flutists looking beyond a closed-hole system. You get more options in fingerings and playing techniques, with materials and construction that match that approach.
