Altus Flute, Professional Model A10RBEO (S/Z-Cut)

The Altus A10RBEO is a preferred choice for advanced and aspiring professional flutists, offering a refined combination of tonal complexity, expert craftsmanship, and exceptional value. As part of the Altus Artist Series, it features a headjoint, body, and footjoint made of Britannia silver (.958) which is a higher-purity silver than standard sterling silver (.925). This results in a resonant, full-bodied tone with increased harmonic richness, ideal for expressive and dynamic performance. The all-silver construction gives the A10RBEO enhanced projection and tonal flexibility while retaining the signature Altus feel.

Like all Altus flutes, the A10 is completely handmade, with the same meticulous attention to detail and technical precision found in the brand’s top-tier models. It features a Split E mechanism, improving the stability and response of high E which is a crucial element for advanced repertoire. The superior build quality and tonal refinement make the A10RB an excellent instrument for serious performers who seek professional-level sound and reliability.

The A10 comes standard with the Z-cut headjoint, known for its rectangular embouchure hole and minimal undercutting. This design delivers a quick response, excellent control, and a rich, darker tone. For those looking for a different tonal character, the Altus S-cut headjoint is also available. With its oval-shaped embouchure hole, it offers the signature Altus sound: warm, vibrant, and beautifully projective, giving the flutist a wide tonal palette and exceptional projection.
