Altus Handmade Britannia Series Model 1607 - New

$15,200.00 USD

Altus Headjoint Cuts

Altus offers three different headjoint styles: the "Z-Cut," the "Classic Cut," and the "V-Cut."

Z-Cut Headjoint

With a more rectangular embouchure hole with minimal over and undercutting, the Z-Cut headjoint produces a quick response without sacrificing flexibility or control. The sound is open and free with a darker tonal color.

Classic Cut Headjoint

Renowned for producing the trademark Altus sound, the Classic Cut headjoint provides vibrant warmth with excellent projection. Its pure tonal center allows the artist great flexibility with an infinite color palette.

V-Cut Headjoint

Altus has created one of its most powerful headjoints, the V-Cut, capable of producing an exceptional tonal depth without sacrificing flexibility. Featuring a high front wall and steep angled lip plate, this headjoint performs at the cutting edge of modern headjoint design.
