USED ALTUS / Flute AL-E: All-Silver, All Pads Replaced [09]

Altus All-Silver Flute AL-E (Selected Model)

This model features an all-silver construction, a silver-plated finish, soldered tone holes, a coiled tube, and an offset covered E key mechanism.
This is a model selected by Emily Byon, Principal Flutist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

While minor dents on the headjoint have been repaired, there are some fine scratches throughout the instrument due to normal use; however, there is no noticeable damage, and it is in good condition.
It has undergone maintenance, including the replacement of all pads, so it is ready for use without any issues.

This instrument revives the “Louis Lot,” an old French flute originally crafted in 19th-century France.
The AL model, crafted from Altus Silver (Ag946), employs the “wound pipe” construction method—where the pipes are formed by rolling a single sheet of silver, just as they were in the past. This model features a unique, sweet tone and a deep, expansive sound that further enriches the performer’s expression.
