Handmade ALTUS headjoints
The headjoint design is one of the most important elements for the characteristic of a flute´s tone. The significance of the headjoint inspired the founder of AZUMI flutes - Shuichi Tanaka to produce a handmade headjoint combined with a flute body that is affordable, yet of a high production quality.
His vision was to make this exceptional combination of handmade design and affordability available to both beginners and advanced flute players.
With this vision the AZUMI flute series was born – to satisfy the different demands of the beginner and the advanced musician. Experience the uniqueness of the AZUMI flutes.
The handmade headjoints, produced by ALTUS for AZUMI, are the result of a lifetime of passionate and devoted work carried out with utmost care and attention, with each headjoint manufactured by hand to Tanaka's exacting specifications. Each fine detail is perfected until the headjoint and body form a unique tonal unity.
