The Altus Artist 1107 flute is a top choice for talented and ambitious flutists. Thanks to its solid Britannia silver, it provides a full sound and a darker hue than lower-range models.

Crafted in Taiwan, this flute features a solid 958‰ silver head and body, along with an S-CUT embouchure. Its silver-plated nickel silver mechanisms, drawn tone holes, and special C# trill key soldering attest to its manufacturing quality.

Equipped with stainless steel springs, the Altus 1107 boasts numerous advantages. Its sound range surpasses the 1007 model, and its tone becomes more velvety while remaining stable.

However, it's worth noting that this flute comes at a relatively high price, compared to renowned brands such as Sankyo, Muramatsu, and popular brands like Pearl, Trevor James, Yamaha, and Haynes. Its reputation is still emerging, but it can compete with the big Japanese names.

The silver alloy composition used in the Altus 1107, with its 95.8% silver, is known as Britannia silver. This alloy has a higher density and is considerably softer than solid silver. This allows the flute to produce darker and richer tonal colors without needing a thicker wall.

Shuichi Tanaka, the creator of Altus flutes, and the renowned British flutist William Bennett shared an admiration for Albert Cooper's vision to modernize the traditional flute scale. Together, they created the Altus scale, offering effortless pitch accuracy, flawless harmonics, and exceptionally balanced registers, thus setting a new standard in flute design. This monumental achievement is one of the distinctive elements of the great Altus flute-making tradition.

The Altus Artist 1107 is an ideal choice for serious flutists looking to hone their talent and stand out from the rest. Its luxurious sound offers a notable balance between brightness and warmth.
