Additional Information

Azumi by Altus
The Azumi AZ1 is one of several models from Azumi by Altus line of flutes. They feature an Altus Z-Cut Series Headjoint that is made in Japan at Altus. The Azumi AZ1 Series Flute maintains affordability by focusing on the flute’s core design rather than just the materials. The Azumi AZ1 still utilizes the same hand-cut Altus Z-Cut headjoint design, but only the lip plate and the riser are made from Solid Silver (Sterling .925). The tube of the headjoint is silver plated just like the body.

Professional Setup
Every Azumi AZ1 Flute that we send out to a customer is not released from us unless it has been completely setup in our shop first. This is because the setup on your flute is of the utmost importance! Sometimes, an instrument (regardless of who the manufacturer or the price point is) comes in needing 20 minutes of adjustments and then the very next one can require 2 hours!

This is why we perform our setup in our ProShop on your new Azumi AZ1 Flute before delivering it to you. You trust us with your purchase and we want to make sure that you are rewarded by giving you your new flute setup flawlessly!
