Created by Master Flute Maker Shuichi Tanaka, each Altus flute reflects his passion to combine the finest playing flutes with the finest materials and artistry. The meticulous design of the Altus flute and its acclaimed Altus/Bennet scales offers excellent intonation, carefully tuned harmonics and balanced registers. The masterfully hand-sculpted headjoints and precision tubings produce the remarkable sound of the Altus flute.

Material Composition

Sterling silver lip plate and riser, Britannia silver headjoint, body and footjoint, silver-plated nickel silver mechanism – drawn tone holes

A traditionally created silver alloy composed of 95.8% silver, also dubbed the Britannia Silver for its historic existence in British coinage. Mr. Tanaka first created Altus flutes with this alloy for a Renaissance of 19th century flute sound. This alloy has an increased density and is considerably softer than Sterling Silver. This allows the instruments to make darker and richer tonal color without the use of greater wall thickness.

"The shop provides a large range of varieties. We spent very pleasant two hours in it and bought a Yamaha YSL-882OII that is out of stock everywhere in Singapore, a beautiful saxophone and other accessories that we needed. Great thanks to the shop owner who patiently allowed us to try so that we could take our time to make decisions. Highly recommended!"
