Just Flutes Description

Altus professional models offer discerning flautists a choice of harmonically tuned and elegant sounding instruments capable of consistently executing technical passages with ease. Altus have developed and introduced density-sensitive materials to the flute market, including 99.7% High Purity which is used to make the headjoint and body tube of the PSD. 99.7% High Purity gives incredible projection, flexibility and control, with a tone colour consistent over the entire range of the flute. All Altus flutes come as standard with the accurate William Bennett (Wibb) scale, a responsive and durable mechanism, and a precisely hand-cut headjoint, customised for each flute. Altus flutes appeal to the player who has a classical approach to tone and wants a unique flute that is different from conventional offerings.

The Altus drawn tone hole model PSD flute has similar tonal properties when compared to the soldered tone hole model PS (1707), but with less resistance. Easy to play, this model is popular among players who prefer lighter-weight flutes; the quality of scale, headjoint and mechanism is consistent with the higher priced soldered tone hole model.
