Benefits

Britannia silver headjoint with ALTUS silver

The lip-plate and riser are made of the exclusive ALTUS silver with a 94.6% silver content and, in combination with the S-cut and Britannia silver headjoint, offer a somewhat denser sound characteristic thanks to the high silver content and enable a variety of tonal facets for advanced players.

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.

Inline

The inline design means that the G and A flaps are positioned in line with the rest of the flaps. This construction method is particularly in demand in the French flute tradition.

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.

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.

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.
