AZUMI Flute AZS3RE
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.
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.
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.
The E mechanics allow for better stability of the tone E3, while also improving the intonation and response for the tone.
The design with advanced G key has an ergonomic position of the flaps for the ring finger of the left hand.
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.
The C-foot is the traditional design of the flute, as it was standard for many decades, as well as in literature. The response is a little lighter and the timbre a little lighter.
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.
