Azumi AZ3

Designed by Altus founder and flutemaker Shuichi Tanaka, Azumi flutes are a perfect fit for the serious student and aspiring flutist. Featuring a handcrafted Altus Z-cut headjoint, this instrument responds quickly and easily, producing a full and rich tone in all three registers. All Azumi flutes feature pointed key arms for an elegant and refined look, improved key strength, and even pad wear. Using the Altus-Bennett scale, the Azumi offers excellent intonation, carefully tuned harmonics, and balanced registers.

The tale of Altus Flutes begins in 1981 when founder Shuichi Tanaka envisioned a flute that would embody the essence of Japanese hand craftsmanship and engineering precision.  With a dream to create instruments that inspire musicians to reach new heights of expression, Tanaka established the Altus brand in Azumino, Japan.  The company quickly gained recognition for its commitment to quality, and became a preferred choice among discerning flutists worldwide.  To learn more about Altus and Azumi Flutes, click here.
