Exceptional Student Flute Designed for Aspiring Players
Produced by Armstrong’s team of expert craftspeople in Elkhart, Indiana, the Armstrong 104 student flute is an exceptional instrument purpose-built for aspiring players. Designed to facilitate the positive development of your student’s playing technique, the 104 features a silver-plated headjoint, body, closed-hole keys, an offset G key system, and a C footjoint. With its clear, outstanding responsiveness and durable construction, the 104 is not only a popular instrument among music educators, but one that also promises to serve your student well as they embark on a lifelong musical journey. The Armstrong 104 flute also includes a molded plastic case and cleaning rod.
Silver-plated headjoint, body, and mechanism
The Armstrong 104 headjoint is fashioned from silver-plated nickel silver to deliver a crisp, clear tone across the entire range of the instrument. It joins a silver-plated body, which is populated by meticulously crafted and assembled silver-plated keys. The 104’s offset G key system follows the natural contour of your hand, providing a comfortable playing experience. Armstrong’s signature CNC key cups prevent air leaks and provide reliable and responsive performance. Finally, the 106 is equipped with bottom-adjusting screws.
Armstrong Flutes: carefully crafted in the Hoosier State
In 1931, William Teasdale Armstrong opened a small flute repair shop in Elkhart, Indiana. Within a few short years, William’s dedication to quality earned him a reputation as a master craftsman, and professional musicians began requesting custom-made instruments. Throughout the mid-20th century, Armstrong Flutes thrived. Eventually, William passed on the business to his son Edward, who recognized a need among student musicians for high-quality, affordable instruments. In the 1970s, Armstrong teamed with Albert Cooper to develop a new flute scale for 440Hz tuning, which was applied to Anderson’s 102, 103, and 104 student model flutes. Today, Anderson continues to focus on crafting top-notch student model flutes in their Elkhart-based facility.
