Altus Flute - 1307 BE
The Altus 1307 with B-Foot is a professional full Britannia silver instrument with a brilliant quality of sound. Due to its denser material, 958 Britannia silver gives the Altus 1307 full silver flute an increased strength of resonance in comparisson to the 1207. The instrument’s silvery sound obtains a slightly darker element, which thus provides the musician with a wider range of tonal modulation.
The mechanism and keys are made of sterling silver (.925) and are equipped with Altus's famous SP-1 springs. SP-1 springs are made of a very expensive alloy of gold, platinum, palladium, silver, copper and zinc, allowing the player to perform exceptionally lightly and with precise virtuosity.
