Common Questions About the Haynes Amadeus AF580-BO
How does the AF580 fit within the Amadeus flute lineup?
The AF580 is positioned above the AF480 and uses a solid silver lip plate and riser with a silver-plated headjoint, body, and mechanism. The AF680 adds a solid silver headjoint, while the AF780 adds a solid silver body and footjoint.
What do the open-hole keys and B footjoint offer?
Open-hole keys encourage precise finger coverage and provide additional venting options used in advanced repertoire. The B footjoint extends the flute's chromatic range to low B and adds the longer footjoint configuration commonly found on step-up and professional flutes.
What does the Haynes A=442 scale mean?
The flute is designed around an A=442 pitch standard. This pitch level is widely used in orchestral and international ensemble settings, while remaining manageable in ensembles that tune near A=440 through normal headjoint adjustment.
