Altus flute 1107 professional#
It ticks all the boxes when it comes to what one would want in a mechanism and best of all, they’ve included it on all their flutes, from their entry level professional quality flute, model 807 all the way up to the venerable model 1807 (AL). It is quick to respond, light, silent and stays in adjustment for an extremely long time. They have absolutely perfected their version of a pinned mechanism.

Altus never switched to a pinless mechanism because they simply don’t need to. You really need to run your fingers over these keys yourself in order to appreciate it. What is not subjective is how good their mechanism is, and it is one of the best there is. Perception of sound is subjective though so you will need to try them and see if they suit you.

In terms of sound, I find them extremely malleable, colourful, offer great projection and evenness throughout the registers. I’ve had several flutes throughout the course of my career and two of them, including my current one, have been Altus (and they were purchased long before I started working for F&F after trying every brand under the sun!). Each flute comes in a French style leatherette covered wood case with a zippered, fleece lined cover and a shoulder strap. Created and handmade by Shuichi Tanaka, each Altus flute reflects his passion.
