Altus Flute - 807 CE
The Altus 807 CE flute with C-foot, split E-mechanism and silver lip-plate is a very elegant and durable flute.
This flute from the Altus Artist Series is, apart from the silver lip plate, entirely made of nickel silver (an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc) and is therefore more durable than a solid silver flute. Nickel silver instruments give a very clear sound and due to the lower costs of the material compares to silver, the Altus 807 is attractively priced.

Nickel silver instruments give a very clear sound and due to the lower costs of the material compares to silver, the Altus 807 is attractively priced. Nevertheless, the 807 is like all Altus flutes completely handmade and the mechanism and technical aspects are produced with the same care and attention to detail as the higher positioned Altus flutes.
The S-cut head joint of the Altus 807 CE produces the distinctive Altus sound that can be described as vibrant, warm with excellent projection. The pure tonal center provides the player great flexibility and an infinite color palette.
