Details

The Altus AS-1007E / ER soprano flute with sterling silver headjoint and body offers the typical sound of a full silver flute but still remains in the low-cost range due to its nickel-silver mechanism. The Altus 1007 has a wide overtone spectrum, an easy response and markedly uniform playability in all registers.

The Altus 1007 is available with a S-cut or a Z-cut head joint. The S-cut head joint is renowned for producing the trademark Altus sound, and provides vibrant warmth with excellent projection. Its pure tonal center allows the artist great flexibility with an infinite color palette. The Z-cut head joint, with a more rectangular embouchure hole with minimal over and undercutting, produces a quick response without sacrificing flexibility or control. The sound is open and free with a darker tonal color.
