The Azumi S2 flute with C-foot, handmade sterling silver (.958) S-cut headjoint and choice of closed keys (Azumi AZS2E) or open keys (Azumi AZS2RE).
The S2 series Azumi comes with a S-cut headjoint made of Brittania silver (.958). The S-cut headjoint is handmade by the higher positioned brand Altus and gives the instrument a versatile, individual tone with slightly more resistance than the Z-cut head-joint. By the use of nickel-silver for the corpus and the flute mechanism, the fute is very solid and durable, while the price can be reduced.
