Benefits
ALTUS headjoint with S-Cut
The handcrafted ALTUS headjoint for the S-Series models is characterized by the oval shape of the mouth hole, the S-Cut. The wide blowing edge allows a very fast response and full sound. The sound character of this series is supported by the use of 958 Britannia silver.
Britannia silver (958) headjoint
Thanks to the high silver content, the Britannia silver headjoint with 95.8% has a slightly denser sound characteristic and enables a wide range of tonal facets for advanced players.
Body made of Britannia silver (958), silver-plated
Britannia silver has a proportion of 95.8% silver and due to the higher density it allows a pronounced tonal carrying capacity that goes in the direction of gold flutes.
E-mechanism
The E mechanics allow for better stability of the tone E3, while also improving the intonation and response for the tone.
Offset G
The design with advanced G key has an ergonomic position of the flaps for the ring finger of the left hand.
Open hole keys
Open hole keys are a modern development and enable technical refinements that are not possible with closed hole keys. For example, there are special alternative grips, especially for modern playing techniques. The open hole keys can be closed at any time with silicone plugs included in the accessories.
B- foot joint
The B-foot extends the range of a flute by a semitone to the minor B. Due to the longer tube, the timbre is a bit more muted and the intonation of especially high notes is a little easier.
Case, bag and cleaning rod
The scope of delivery of each AZUMI flute includes an elegant, high-quality velvet-lined wooden case, a matching lined case pocket as well as a wiper rod and cleaning cloth.
C-sharp trill key
The C-sharp trill simplifies many difficult trill and tremolo fingerings and has become a preferred feature among professional flutists.
