The ALTUS Basic Model 807 is an elegant and very durable flute. Equipped with everything the advanced musician expects, this instrument captivates with its excellent qualities of sound and its exquisitely intoned ALTUS scale.
- The 807 Artist models have a .925 sterling silver lip plate and riser which gives a richness of tone above a standard silver plated lip plate and riser. The headjoints are hand finished in Japan and despite the fact it is just the lip plate and riser that is silver most players would find this flute more expressive and enjoyable to play above a machine made student design in full solid silver, ie It's not always the amount of silver that counts, but who is making it, how they are making it and to what design.
