Step into a new world of sound. The Ultima Sterling Silver Concert Flute is handcrafted in sterling silver from headjoint to footjoint, unlocking a richer, warmer tone, effortless projection, and instant responsiveness you won’t find in plated flutes.
Every breath translates into music with depth and colour, whether you’re performing solo or filling a hall with sound. The B footjoint expands your range and resonance, while the precision-balanced keys respond to your lightest touch.
The Ultima Sterling Silver Concert Flute is a statement piece designed for musicians who want their playing to be heard, felt, and remembered.
Why Sterling Silver Matters
Where plated flutes can sound thin or metallic, sterling silver brings:
Richer resonance: a full-bodied warmth that blooms in every register.
Projection with presence: your sound carries effortlessly in ensembles or solo settings.
Tonal flexibility: from shimmering brightness to dark, velvety lows, silver lets you paint with sound.
Instant response: every breath, every nuance, translates directly into music.
It’s not just about owning a better flute, it’s about skipping years of tonal frustration and stepping straight into an instrument that does your artistry justice.
Designed for Serious Players
The B footjoint adds weight and depth, expanding your range down to low B and giving the flute a resonant, mellow character even in the upper register. The highly responsive keys and precision-balanced mechanism make effortless playing second nature. With every note, the Ultima mirrors your intent; fast, fluid, and faithful.
This isn’t just a purchase. It’s an investment in the next chapter of your musical journey.

Flute FAQs
What is a B footjoint? A B footjoint extends the flute’s range down to B3. Beyond the extra note, it adds resonance, depth, and a mellow tonal character across registers — ideal for advanced repertoire and orchestral work.
What is an offset G? The offset G makes playing more comfortable and natural, particularly for smaller hands, reducing strain and improving control.
What is a split E mechanism? The split E strengthens intonation and tone when playing high E, making it more stable and reliable — a crucial advantage for advanced passages.
What are the benefits of open holes? Open holes open creative doors: richer tonal colours, extended techniques (slides, multiphonics, microtones), and better tonal variation. Recommended from Grade 6 upwards. Tone hole plugs are included to ease the transition.
