The ALTUS 1807 RBE flute embodies Altus's relentless pursuit of the traditional flute sound. Through analysis of the silver materials of the time, Altus successfully replicated this magnificent sound using a 946‰ silver alloy and other metals. Thus, Altus Silver TM was born, exclusively used by Altus.
Featuring an Altus silver lip plate and riser, silver soldered tone holes, solid silver mechanism, this flute has soldered tone holes that add purity and clarity to the sound. Its incredible tonal flexibility and consistency across the scale will undoubtedly stand out.
This masterful flute, designed by artists for artists, follows the principles developed by the renowned French craftsman Louis Lot. Its soldered tube provides remarkable sound definition and impressive projection.
Made in Japan with a 946‰ solid silver body and headjoint, a 925‰ solid silver mechanism, soldered tone holes, special soldering for the C# tone hole, and SP-1 springs, this flute offers exceptional playing precision and perfect balance.
Among its advantages are remarkable playability and a sound that stands out even more than the 1607 and 1707 models due to its soldered tube. However, its sound color might be perceived as brighter in certain situations, which may be a consideration.
While the craftsmanship of this flute is very good, it might be seen as slightly below that of major specialized flute brands. Nevertheless, it offers excellent playing precision and represents an appealing choice for musicians seeking a versatile and expressive flute.
