Questions about Azumi
Where are Azumi instruments made?
Azumi flutes are meticulously crafted in Japan, combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques. Specific component sourcing may involve collaboration with other specialized Japanese factories.
What is the significance of the 'RBE' designation in Azumi flute models?
RBE stands for Reverse Bearing Engraved, a proprietary headjoint design that alters airflow and contributes to Azumi's characteristic resonant tone and improved response.
How do Azumi flutes compare to other Japanese professional flutes?
While sharing Japanese craftsmanship, Azumi distinguishes itself with a more European-influenced design philosophy, prioritizing ergonomics and a slightly warmer, more focused tone than some traditional Japanese models.
