The Armstrong company is a world-renowned flute manufacturer that has won the trust of flutists on all continents, and its instruments have earned a reputation for craftsmanship and quality.
The Armstrong 250 is a semi-professional piccolo flute that has the same qualities of strength and durability as student-level models, but also possesses a great richness of acoustic color thanks to its pure silver headstock.

The Armstrong 250 Semi-Professional Piccolo Flute is manufactured at the company's factory in Elkhart, Indiana, USA, and is designed to last both as an addition to the transverse flute and as the main instrument.
