As the first flute manufacturer to introduce Britannia silver with 95.8% silver content into production, ALTUS was a leader in the pursuit of the classic model of the French "Louis Lot" flute sound.
The Britannia silver gives the ALTUS A13 solid silver flute a darker timbre with great resonance power due to the higher material density. This gives the musician greater tonal and dynamic modulation possibilities.
