Pre-Owned Azumi AZ-Z2RBO Professional Step-Up Flute - Sterling Silver Headjoint
Following right behind our Z3 model, we have another powerhouse flute from Azumi with the AZ-Z2RBO. While the Z3 series steps up to a full sterling silver body, the Z2 is Azumi's most popular and widely played configuration, pairing a solid sterling silver headjoint with a precision silver-plated body. It delivers that coveted professional Altus pedigree at an exceptionally accessible price point, making it a favorite for advancing students who need major projection and rich harmonic depth.

Condition & Shop Inspection

Cosmetics: 99% / Near Mint Condition. Sharing a nearly identical history to our other recent Azumi arrival, this flute is in fantastic shape with zero structural damage or deep dings. You might find a few light feather scratches upon extreme close inspection, and the silver plating shows a few honest spots of tarnish tucked away in hard-to-reach areas of the keywork. Overall, it presents brilliantly.
