Common Questions About the Altus 1207SRBO-CD

How does a 14K riser affect the playing experience?

A 14K riser changes the material at the embouchure chimney, where the air stream first meets the headjoint. Many flutists choose this configuration for added color flexibility, refined articulation, and a different sense of resistance compared with an all-silver riser.

Why do advanced flutists choose open-hole keywork with a low B footjoint?

Open-hole keywork gives the player direct tactile feedback and supports extended techniques, while a low B footjoint expands the instrument’s range and can add a slightly different balance to the lower register. This combination is standard on many serious intermediate and professional flutes.

Where does this model fit for a serious player?

The 1207SRBO-CD is appropriate for flutists who need more refinement than a step-up instrument typically provides and want a handmade flute capable of supporting advanced tonal, technical, and ensemble demands.
