Item Description

The Altus 925 alto flute comes with an split E-mechanism and a full sterling silver handmade straight head joint. The Altus 925 differs from 917 in that the Altus 925 is equipped with the ALTUS Design Mechanism: A unique, ergonomically positioning of the left-handed keys, so that there will be less pressure on the left shoulder and wrist.

The Altus 900 series of alto flutes come with a 925 Sterling silver head-joint that features the winning combination of the typical sound of silver and improved projection power. A wider overtone spectrum and more tonal richness are further attributes of the ALTUS transverse flutes in this series.
