Our Description

The newly refined Altus A12 supercedes the Altus 1207; a highly popular instrument for the advanced player. The A12 is equipped with a redesigned headjoint which allows players of all levels to explore a wide tonal palette. It also features the newly evolved  "Altus scale", and carefully calculated and precisely tuned harmonics. This flute is full of colourful overtones, and enables exploration of tone and musical expression for advanced players. 

About Altus

Altus flutes are held in the very highest esteem by professional players and technicians the world over. Founded by master flute maker Shuichi Tanaka, each Altus flute reflects his passion to produce the finest playing flutes available.

Altus models offer discerning flautists a choice of harmonically tuned and elegant sounding instruments capable of consistently executing technical passages with ease. The many possible combinations of options enable the player to exact a wide range of tone colours.

At the leading edge of contemporary flute making, Altus have developed and introduced density-sensitive materials to the flute market, including .958 Britannia. 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.
