Armstrong AFL201 Student Flute

In 1931, William Teasdale Armstrong, a highly respected craftsman and a C.G. Conn shop foreman, founded his small flute repair shop in Elkhart, Indiana. Built on a foundation of trust and Armstong heritage passed from father to son, Armstrong’s craftsmanship and attention to detail have secured its foothold as a quality flute manufacturer. Known for a crisp response and ease of playing, Armstrong flutes are designed to last and provide a superb playing experience Features The Armstrong AFL201 flute features a silver-plated, nickel silver head joint, body and key work with Y arms, offset G, and closed holes.  With a multi-tapered bore for optimal acoustic response and resonance, the head joint features a sharp blowing edge of the embouchure hole that creates a fast, easy response and articulation.  Great for the beginning student due to its effortless playability, the head joint design features elegant under and over cutting to provide easy first tones that are rich, expressive, and even throughout all registers. Featuring Y arms, the key work is hand assembled to create a feather-light, lightning-fast and fluid key action.
