The body tubing is silver plated and enables the player to create a sound with tonal complexity, a wide range of dynamic contrast, and ease of articulation.  ALTUS transverse flutes win musicians over with well-balanced intonation and an even sound pattern in all registers. The instrument has a balanced feel, responds neatly in all registers and has a full and very beautiful, sonorous and nonetheless elegant sound allowing for every desired modulation.

The Altus Company, founded by Shuichi Tanaka, produces handmade flutes in the town of Azumino in Japan. Altus is one of the most innovative companies when it comes to alloying and new ways of construction. The flute is looked upon as a piece of art, and Altus is relying on the European tradition of flute craftsmanship (Lot and Boehm). 

The Altus 919 is supplied in a hard leather-bound case with a case cover and shoulder carry strap. Also included is a perspex cleaning rod, gauze cloth and polishing cloth.
