Key features:

– Sterling silver headjoint: The tonal character of this series is supported by the use of 925 sterling silver for lip-plate and riser.

– Z-cut headjoint: Incorporating a more rectangular embouchure hole with minimal over and undercutting, this headjoint produces a quick response without sacrificing flexibility or control. The sound is open and free, providing modern tonal color.

– Altus scale: Based on the work and recommendations of renowned British flutist William Bennett, the Altus Scale offers excellent intonation, carefully tuned harmonics, and balanced registers.

– Pointed key arms: Usually reserved for professional models, all Azumi Flutes feature pointed key arms for an elegant and refined look, improved key strength, and even pad wear. The pointed arms connect the key hinge tube to the key cup at the back and across the top of the key, ending in a point in the center of the cup.

– Split E mechanism: The Split E mechanism is designed to make the high E more responsive.
