Common Questions About the Haynes Amadeus AF482-CO
What distinguishes the AF482-CO from the Amadeus AF480-CO?
The AF482-CO uses French open-hole keys, while the AF480-CO uses plateau keys. The AF482-CO is intended for players who want to develop open-hole technique on a student-level Haynes flute.
What does the C footjoint provide?
The C footjoint gives the flute a range extending to low C. It is lighter and more compact than a B footjoint, which can be useful for developing players and standard school ensemble literature.
Is the AF482-CO limited to first-time flute players?
No. It is positioned as a student instrument, but its open-hole keywork, pointed arms, and offset G make it appropriate for players who want a flute that can support continued technical development.
