Pointed Key Arms



The pointed arms connect the key hinge tube to the key cup at the back and across the top of the key, ending in a point in the center of the cup. Originally reserved for professional models, all Azumi Flutes feature pointed key arms for an elegant and refined look, even pad wear, and improved key strength.
