    Altus makes flutes that are very high in quality with excellent intonation. While expensive, they are prof. in grade (even the 807), true hand made, and will never wear out unless the flutist is rough on the f

    YAMAHA YFL 311

    Buying a new flute is essentially a very personal adventure. But I would recommend anyone who is looking for an up-grade to consider and try out the Yamaha YFL 311. I have had mine for

    I own a Muramatsu Ex and have never been happier. The sound is amazing, its easy to play and the flute itself is beautiful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an advanced flute.

    The Trevor James Privilege flute certainly outperforms Yamaha equivalent and has extra features which make it the far better buy. Very quiet action and lovely easy to blow notes/tone. Very good finish to body/p

    I've owned this Gemeinhardt 2NP student flute for 6 years; I have been very reluctant to get a new flute as I am thoroughly satisfied with this one. I very much like its sound, and not once in 6 years has it br

    just bought this flute and am not dissapointed! I have never had an Altus before but after trying it out in the shop, thought it was brillinat. The sound quality and tone is fantastic and it looks gorgeous (ve

    Overall, a darn nice flute. In my opinion, the solid silver headjoint is a must have, even for a beginner. You can appreciate a good tone from the start, without paying a premium "step up" price. I would have t

    I waited a long time to make this major purchase and I love this flute. I'm a music educator and I generally play in sacred church settings. This Pearl's tone fills the sanctuary with beauty. I bought mine a

    My own instrument was very second-hand and completely tarnished when I bought it, sight unseen. Polished up and oiled, it plays with superb ease with a glorious tone and didn't even need a repad or check-over.

    I like Altus flutes, and this basic model (closed hole but with split E and B-foot) didn't let me down. My own flute was very second-hand; but after a good clean-up it played in as good as new, thereby testifyi
