[ Features]
The Altus A1107E is a popular model with a silver body that has been passed down to the current A11. Although production of the A1107E has ended, it remains a highly sought-after instrument as a representative of the Altus Standard Series.

A major feature lies in the selective use of different silver alloys. The lip plate is made of standard Ag925 sterling silver, while the headjoint and body are crafted from Ag958 Britannia silver. This reflects Altus’s signature design philosophy of skillfully utilizing different silver alloys.

The tone produced by the Ag958 headjoint and body combines a deep, soft texture with a clear, transparent quality. The response to the player’s breath is natural; it maintains the core of the sound without becoming too harsh, supporting phrases with a rich resonance.

The use of nickel silver for the keys offers superior playability and cost-effectiveness compared to all-silver models. With its covered keys, E-mechanism, and C-foot joint,this is a model we highly recommendeven for those choosing a silver-body instrument for the first time.
