![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There's an interesting YouTube video where two fantastic flute playing women demonstrate the Altus 807 and 907 and talk a little about the different head joints available on the 907 (and up) models but they don't go into detail. The Altus 807, being their lowest model, does not come with a choice of head joints I believe it's the classic "S cut" hj. Does anyone know anything about this special kind of head joint? Now I know I could order this Z cut hj for the Altus 907 (a step up from the 807, with a solid Brittania silver hj) but I preferred for my ability level (high intermediate?) the Altus 807 to the 907 which I found easier to play as well as 1000 dollars cheaper. I have heard wonders about this Azumi made by Altus (which is in the same price range as the Altus 807) one of the reasons being its Altus "Z cut" lip plate on the head joint. Here's my question, I have also ordered to try out the Azumi Az3 (which I believe replaced the original Azumi 3000). I really love how light it is, how easy it plays and how in tune it stays. I am in the process of trying out some new flutes (after playing 25 years on my Yamaha 300 series) and have narrowed it down to an Altus 807 which is the all silver plated model with no options but a b foot and offset G. This is my first time posting - I just discovered this site! ![]()
