Altus Custom Headjoint | Pure 997 Silver
The Pure Silver tube from Altus is made possible through highly innovative sinter technology. Normally, pure silver is too soft for successful flute tube production because it requires trace amounts of harder metals in the alloy to give it suffiecient strength. The traditional method of creating a melted metal alloy results in pure silver tubes unsuitable for flute making. Sinter technology creates hard tubes of pure silver by compacting the silver under great pressure without melting it into a soft alloy. This unique process produces a dense and brilliant hard silver tube with supreme projecting qualities.
Altus 997 silver headjoints are available in three styles (cuts) and two wall tube thicknesses, 0.014 and 0.016.
Headjoint upgrades of a 14k gold riser, or 14k gold riser and 14k gold lip plate are also available.
