<h2>Altus 1807SRBEO-D Altus Silver™ (.946) Flute</h2>
<p>The Altus 1807SRBEO-D is a handmade professional C flute built with Altus Silver™ (.946) tubing and a sterling-silver mechanism for modern concert performance. It is designed for advancing conservatory players and working professionals who need a wide tonal palette, reliable response, and stable intonation across registers. Its open-hole French keywork, B footjoint, split E, and offset G configuration supports contemporary technique while retaining a traditional French-inspired feel. Soldered tone holes and Altus Silver™ construction distinguish this instrument within the 1807 series by emphasizing clarity, resonance, and consistency.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In performance, the Altus Silver™ headjoint/body/footjoint combination is intended to produce complex tonal colors with strong core and clean articulation, while the Altus Silver™ lip plate and riser help shape a focused, responsive embouchure feel. The Altus Scale (developed with William Bennett) is built for dependable intonation and harmonic alignment, supporting confident pitch center in ensemble playing. Open-hole keys provide flexible venting for color changes and extended technique, and the offset G improves left-hand ergonomics for many players during long rehearsals. The split E mechanism aids high-register E response and stability, and the D# roller facilitates smoother right-hand motion in fast passages. This configuration is well-suited for orchestral and wind ensemble work, chamber music, solo repertoire, and studio recording where clarity and intonation discipline matter. Ideal for advanced students, pre-professional players, orchestral professionals, and serious doublers wanting a handmade, modern French-style setup.</p>
