Pre-Owned Altus PS-PGRE Flute

Our Description

The PS, handmade in 99.7% 'High Purity', has wonderful clarity of sound, with superb projection, flexibility and control over every nuance and subtlety that a player needs. A remarkable flute. The platinum-plated tube and gold-plated keywork further darkens and mellows the sound - if you like a dark sound with clean articulation, try the PS-PG.
