BEAUTIFUL ALTUS 907E SOLID SILVER HEAD (.958) CLOSED-HOLE FLUTE WITH OFFSET G, SPLIT E AND C-FOOT
This used Altus 907 closed hole flute stands out as a superb semi-professional model.
Altus flutes enjoy a reputation for exceptional quality, thanks to Altus’s commitment to handcrafting flutes for over 25 years. . Moreover, every Altus flute delivers a beautifully crisp and easy sound in the high registers while simultaneously offering lush, warm tones in the lower registers. As a result, some of the world’s best players highly covet their unique sound. Furthermore, these flutes are challenging to find second-hand and thus serve as an excellent choice for advanced players and professionals.
In addition, the Altus 907E flute features a solid silver head paired with a silver-plated body, mechanism, and keys. Specifically, its headjoint, made from Britannia silver (.958), provides a warmer and fuller sound. With closed holes, an offset G, a split E, and a C-foot, this model proves to be an ideal upgrade for any student transitioning from a basic model and seeking a high-quality handmade flute to advance to Grade 8 and beyond.
This particular flute is in very good condition and has been fully repadded and serviced, ready to play. There are some small cosmetic marks on three keys (some slightly darker patches and a couple of marks on the body) which I have photographed. These are cosmetic and small but it is always important to point out. The price on this flute is reduced purely because of these cosmetic marks and so is an excellent purchase.
Currently, the retail price for this model stands at £2,950. This is therefore an excellent opportunity to pick this lovely flute up at a very good price.
