Pre-Owned Altus 825SE Alto Flute

Our Description

825SE - Straight headjoint, with ergonomic left-hand keywork. The Series 25 provides a customised left hand mechanical configuration that facilitates a natural left arm position similar to holding a concert flute. As a result, there is less neck strain to play a straight alto flute. Another beneficial feature resulting from this ergonomic design is a reduced necessity to stretch the right wrist and hand. The lower keys on the footjoint are easier to reach and operate.

General Condition

In beautiful condition throughout. This instrument has had a "Thorough Check" (interim service) in our workshop prior to sale.
