Altus Prof 907 RE Flute flawlessThis is a lovely Professional grade Altus flute. It is an open hole flute, with offset G, C foot joint and split E mechanism. The holes have plugs which are shown in the picture, which can easily be removed. It has a fantastic tone from low to high, with a very quiet high E and smooth fast key action.
Altus is one of my personal favorite brands. I refer to the Altus 807 and 907 as "pocket flutes". They are easier to play, very comfortable to hold, on the lighter side, yet require skill and dedication. The intonation is excellent, and the flute sings with a rich responsive voice from low to high.

The Altus flutes are some of my favorite instruments on today's market. They play with wondeful accurate intonation, fast and flawless key action, and a rich fluid tone with quick response.
They are very durable and sturdy instruments, well made in Japan. There are Altus flutes made in Taiwan (and you must check to ensure that the Atlus you purchase is stamped "Made in Japan" so you receive the highest quality instrument.
This flute is suitable for many players. Amature adult players will fiind a flute to begin on and become much better over time. Jazz players will find an instrument that is durable and suitable for the road and outdoor playing, and one in which the notes will pop out with little warm up.
Students can use this to advance their skills, and grow into over time. The more advanced player can use as a back up instrument, and the conservatory player can use to study flute in a university setting.
Our price on this flute is a deal. It has little play, and also features the split E mechanisms which adds about $500 to the price when purchased new. The MSRP of this instrument when purchased new (or even demo) is approximately $3500.00. Like the Muramatsu brand flutes, the Altus brand does not go on sale as do many other brands.
