Azumi AZ3SRBEO Open-Hole Flute with Case

Manufacturer's Description:

All Azumi flutes feature the Altus-Bennett Scale, a Gizmo Key and an Altus Z-Cut™ Professional headjoint with a .925 Sterling Silver Lip Plate and Riser.

The most distinctive feature of all Azumi flutes is the Altus Z-Cut professional headjoint which responds quickly and easily and produces a full and rich tone in all three registers.

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.

An open hole flute has holes at the center of the A, G, F, E, and D keys. Open holes are the standard among intermediate flutes and are the preference of the majority of flutists.

The B footjoint also adds weight to the overall instrument which increases resistance and results in producing an overall darker tone versus the brighter tone of a C footjoint. The B footjoint improves the overall pitch of the third octave. The B footjoint is the standard choice on flutes above the student level. All Azumi flutes come with a B footjoint.
