We sell A LOT of new Azumi flutes at all different player levels, so we are excited to have a used Azumi AZ2 to offer! This flute is perfect for and advancing player or someone return back to playing flute.
This flute features silver-plated keys, mechanisms and body. The French pointed key arms will feel light to advancing players, and the solid silver headoint will offer players a beautiful warm, dark response. This flute comes with Altus's signature Z cut headjoint, and here's what Azumi has to say about their headjoints:
"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.
The Z-Cut headjoint is handmade by Altus and is included on every Azumi flute. The attention to detail in the handmade process creates a more responsive and flexible tone. The headjoint features a fairly rectangular-shaped embouchure hole which makes it responsive and clean with fantastic articulation. This headjoint is open and free, singing easily in all registers. It is a headjoint which begs to be played because it makes all those difficult things seem so much easier. Response from the low B to the high C (and even D!) is immediate and flawless. The sound is open and full. The tone produced blends beautifully and is therefore very well suited for a band or orchestral setting. The response makes it a fantastic choice for jazz players as well, who sometimes have to jump from sax to flute and get the high C to pop as though it is easy."
Upon arrival, our professional flute tech found that this flute needed some work. Our technician needed to do a significant amount of shimming to this flute, as well as replacing two pads and replacing the headjoint cork. It's been adjusted, oiled, cleaned, and play-tested, and it's ready for you to come check it out! Cosmetically, it's in good condition, there are light scratches on the body and signs of use on the keys. A French style case and cover are included.
