The sound is open and free with a darker tonal color.Īltus Flutes is one of the premium Japanese flute builders and continues to innovate yet respect the best qualities and accomplishments of the finest flutes of the past. Its pure tonal center allows the artist great flexibility with an infinite color palette. The Z-cut head joint, with a more rectangular embouchure hole with minimal over and undercutting, produces a quick response without sacrificing flexibility or control. The S-cut head joint is renowned for producing the trademark Altus sound, and provides vibrant warmth with excellent projection. The Altus 907 is available with a S-cut or a Z-cut head joint. The body and footjoint are made of nickel silver (an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc), which is very durable and allows the Altus 907 ERB to be attractively priced. Nevertheless, the 907 is like all Altus flutes completely handmade and the mechanism and technical aspects are produced with the same care and attention to detail as the higher positioned Altus flutes. This lends the 907 richer harmonics and, thus, expands the musician’s range of tonal expression.
