New Altus Alto Flute, Professional Model 1017SE - Staging

The Altus 10 Series Alto Flutes — 1017SE, 1019SE, 1021SE, and 1025SE — represent a significant step into the professional tier of Altus craftsmanship. Combining the depth and resonance of solid sterling silver tubing with the refined keywork of silver-plated nickel silver, these models offer a rich, flexible tone and exceptional responsiveness that satisfy the demands of advanced and professional flutists.

Each instrument in the 10 Series is handcrafted in Japan by Altus master artisans, ensuring meticulous precision, consistent intonation, and smooth, reliable key action. The sterling silver construction brings warmth, color, and dynamic range, while the lightweight silver-plated mechanism provides comfortable handling and durability.

Players can choose between straight and curved headjoints (depending on model) to suit their ergonomic preference, and all instruments feature the standard C-footjoint for ideal tonal balance and projection.

Model Options

• Altus 1017SE – Sterling Silver Headjoint and Body, Silver-Plated Keys and Mechanism (Straight Headjoint)
The 1017SE marks the entry point to the 10 Series, offering a beautifully resonant tone and refined response through its solid sterling silver construction. With a straight headjoint design, it provides a clear, projecting sound and excellent tonal depth, making it ideal for players transitioning into professional-level performance.

• Altus 1019SE – Sterling Silver Headjoint and Body, Silver-Plated Keys and Mechanism (Curved U-Shaped Headjoint)
The 1019SE features a curved (U-shaped) headjoint that brings the flute closer to the player, enhancing comfort and ergonomics without compromising tonal quality. Its sterling silver tubing produces a warm, rich sound with fluid response across all registers, making it a perfect choice for flutists seeking both expressive depth and ease of play.

• Altus 1021SE – Sterling Silver Headjoint and Body, Silver-Plated Keys and Mechanism (Straight and U-Shaped Headjoints)

The flagship of the 10 Series, the 1025SE features a specially designed ergonomic body and re-engineered left-hand key system that provide exceptional comfort for flutists who prefer a straight headjoint.
