Common Questions About the Altus 1407SRBO-CD

What distinguishes the Z-Cut headjoint?

What does the B footjoint add?

A B footjoint extends the flute's range down to low B. Its additional length and mass can also influence resistance and tonal focus compared with a C footjoint.

The 1407SRBO-CD belongs to Altus's handmade professional flute range and is intended for advanced and professional applications rather than student-level use.
