Altus Flutes

An elegantly crafted flute offering the demanding professional the additional overtone enhancement of soldered toneholes. The 1507 is an instrument for the accomplished or orchestral player who desires a richly warm sound that .958 Britannia silver tubes characteristically are known to achieve while providing ample projection capability over a wide palette of color.

Each enables the player to exact a wide variety of tone colors. All Altus professional model flutes have hand-carved headjoints by Shuichi Tanaka.
