The flute is looked upon as a piece of art, and Altus is relying on the European tradition of flute craftsmanship (Lot and Boehm). Altus is one of the most innovative companies when it comes to alloying and new ways of construction.

The Altus Company, founded by Shuichi Tanaka, produces handmade flutes in the town of Azumino in Japan. Altus flutes appeal to the player who has a classical approach to tone and wants a unique flute that is different from conventional offerings. For a less resistant 99.7% 'High Purity' flute, try the Altus PSD with drawn tone holes.Īll Altus flutes come as standard with the accurate William Bennett (WIBB) scale, a responsive and durable mechanism, and a precisely hand-cut headjoint, customised for each flute. A truly masterful instrument, made by an artist for artists.

This results in far greater purity and clarity of sound, the instrument has high tonal flexibility, it is homogeneous across the whole gamut, and the enormous projection capacity across all registers will certainly not remain unnoticed. In contrast to the ALTUS “PSD” – Model 1407, the tonehole risers of the new ALTUS “PS” – Model 1707 are soldered on. In addition, ALTUS is the only flute maker to manufacture instruments from this material. 997 ALTUS Pure Silver is currently the purest silver used in flute manufacture.
