Altus' philosophical approach to flutemaking is based on the integrity and musical knowledge of founder and flutemaker, Mr. Shuichi Tanaka. In addition to his individual and artistic approach towards his craft, is his motivation to create a flute equal in soul and tonal agility to the older French flutes that have maintained a reputation for ease of musical expression.
Altus materials and designs surpass typical materials and approaches to flutemaking with a consistent standard of excellence and precision. The various models offered are designed and customized for various performing styles and venues. This approach towards flutemaking ensures the effectiveness of your individual performance. All Altus Flutes have the notable and accurate Altus scale based on the recommendations of William Bennett, a durable and responsive mechanism, and a precisely carved headjoint personally crafted by Mr. Shuichi Tanaka that is specifically customized for each flute.
