Pre-Owned Altus PSD-RE 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.

General Condition

This flute has been through our workshop prior to sale - it has been fully serviced and has had a full repad. It is in very good condition throughout. There are a couple of scatches on the headjoint and footjoint but these are purely cosmetic and won't affect the sound or playability.
