In the constant search for the ideal material properties in the tradition of Louis-Lot flutes, ALTUS has developed an exclusive silver alloy: In addition to 94.6% silver, ALTUS Silver™ consists of 20 other materials, including gold and platinum, whose composition is top secret. Like the classic models, the body of an ALTUS "AL" is folded from a silver sheet and soldered hard. ALTUS Silver™ accommodates musicians with a need for above-average expressiveness and great tonal differentiation. This flute impresses with its intimate, silvery sound, its independent character and the enormous richness of timbre.
