Altus PSD RBE Flute

Manufacturer's Description

The Altus drawn tone hole model PSD flute has similar tonal properties when compared to the soldered tone hole model PS, 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.
