Altus A9EO Flute

Our Description

The newly refined Altus A9 supercedes the Altus 907; one of the most popular upgrades for the advanced flute player. Equipped with a redesigned headjoint which allows players of all levels to explore a wide tonal palette. With a seamed nickel silver body tube, this flute stands out in this price range for being reminiscent of instruments from the great flute makers of the late 19th century France. The Altus A9 features the newly evolved  "Altus scale", carefully calculated and precisely tuned harmonics. This flute is full of colourful overtones, and enables the developing player to explore and expand their tone and musical expression.
