The hand cut embouchure took a little bit of adjustment over the P4 on the 80B, but is open to more flexibility and octave changing, where as the P4 is overcut for ease of playing but not as open for express ability. Although the 80B gives confidence of a well-machined instrument the 60B has that slight hand assembled appearance, even the pads have been individual shimmed for performance, I checked. РІР‚СљWith direct comparison to my 80B SS (1999) the 60B once properly setup and adjusted is IMHO a definite step up from the 80B. 'The new Heritage line has been developed with these goals in mind, offering great value and providing performance that is truly deserving of the Heritage legacy.' 'Flutists are asking for instruments with premium performance and feature characteristics at accessible prices,' said Gerardo Discepolo, flute product manager. Armstrong has introduced a new line of alto and C flutes. 'RETURNING TO THE HERITAGE Line tradition of quality instruments.

'From the little information that I could find the new Heritage line 61/60B lived a short life span, not too sure on the politics involved, but was part of ArmstrongРІР‚в„ўs venture in producing a reasonable priced semi-professional flute by having it manufactured in China, I believe, so not to be confused with the Vintage Heritage line.'

From the internet we found these quotes we would like to use: It really plays almost like these high end Japanese made flutes like Muramastu, for example. This is a great playing flute, practically in new condition from a short term, evidently, foray in the high end flute market by Armstrong.
