ALTUS

For over 30 years, Altus has hand-crafted flutes that embody the ideals of vintage inspiration and modern technology. Created by Master Flute Maker Shuichi Tanaka, each Altus flute reflects his passion to combine the finest playing flutes with the finest materials and artistry. The meticulous design of the Altus flute and its acclaimed Altus/Bennet scales offers excellent intonation, carefully tuned harmonics and balanced registers. The masterfully hand-sculpted headjoints and precision tubings produce the remarkable sound of the Altus flute.

Standard Series

Through the careful selection of materials and the Altus dedication to handmade craftsmanship, the Standard Series achieves an unparalleled balance between performance, quality and affordability.

Standard Series flutes feature handmade silver-plated mechanisms well-known for their hardness, strength, and durability without sacrificing exceptional fluidity and feel. The extruded body tubes maintain a standard thickness and include drawn tone holes and the Altus-Bennett scale.

Other standard features include stainless steel springs, French-pointed keys, and a gizmo key. Each flute comes in a French style leatherette covered wood case with a zippered, fleece lined cover and a shoulder strap.
