Pre-Owned Azumi AZ-Z3RBE Flute

Our Description

Altus flutes are held in the very highest esteem by professional players and technicians the world over. Now the Altus sound is available at an affordable price, thanks to the Azumi flute.

The key to the success of the Azumi is the Altus headjoint. This is the Z-cut style, handcut in Japan, which has a wider, rectangular shape to provide quick response with a large tone, across the range of the flute.

Azumi Series: Z vs S

Z series: Rectangular shaping to the embouchure hole leading to a quick response and an easy focusing and production of tone.

S series: Oval shaping to the embouchure hole leading to more blowing resistance and a rich, colourful and 'personal' sound.

The different combinations of silver purities used in the S and Z series underlines the characteristics of each cut to the headjoint, bringing out the individual qualities of each.

General Condition

This Azumi was purchased new from us in August 2023 and has had very little use. We've checked it in our workshop ready for sale and it's a great example of a Z3. If you're looking for a high-spec step-up instrument, this is a good opportunity to get a nearly-new flute at a pre-owned price.
