Common Questions About the William S. Haynes Amadeus AF580-BO
How does the AF580 compare with other Amadeus flutes?
The AF580 uses a silver-plated headjoint, body, and mechanism with a solid silver lip plate and riser. Within the Amadeus line, the AF680 moves to a solid silver headjoint, while the AF780 adds a solid silver body and footjoint.
What does the B footjoint add?
The B footjoint extends the flute's written range down to low B. It also changes the instrument's weight and balance compared with a C-foot flute, making personal preference and playing context important considerations.
Who benefits from open holes and an offset G?
Open holes provide direct finger contact and accommodate techniques used in advanced repertoire. The offset G places the left-hand G keys in a position many players find more natural than an inline layout.
