Pre-Owned Altus 1507 Open G# Flute

Manufacturer's Description

The Altus 1507 is elegantly crafted to meet the performance requirements of the accomplished flautist. The first in our line of soldered tone hole models, it enhances the drawn tone hole 1307 design with increased overtones due to the additional feature of soldered tone holes. Less resistant than the 1607, this professional Britannia model offers both bright and dark characteristics with an ease of dynamic control and projection for any performance setting.

General Condition
