Alto Flute
Again, of American origin, this fine flute compares at least if not more favorably with all the American built alto flutes. It's tuning scale is of a famous flute maker in the States, and is unassailable in its integrity. The resonance of this flute is strong and compliments the richness of tone, providing the player with a vibrant feedback so necessary with the lower support instruments of the orchestra.
This timbre quality stems from the choice of metals selected by Eltham Woodwind and Brass for the manufacture of this instrument. Don't even think of playing one on a trial basis unless you have the money available to purchase it instantly. Once blown a love affair with the flute will follow and never die whilst you own it. It's a purchase for your lifetime.
