Altus Flutes is proud to welcome internationally acclaimed flute player and educator Paul Edmund-Davies as a global brand ambassador.

With a distinguished career spanning over twenty years as Principal Flute of the London Symphony Orchestra and later the Philharmonia Orchestra, Paul has worked with legendary conductors and contributed to iconic film scores such as Star Wars, Lion King Mufasa, and Mission: Impossible. He currently teaches at the Royal Academy of Music, holding the Charles Nicholson Chair.

As a founder of Simply Flute, Paul provides practical, accessible learning resources for flutists worldwide. His 28 Day Warm-Up and Daily Exercises have become go-to practice tools for students and teachers alike.

With regard to the Altus flute he plays, Paul says, “The AL II possesses a tone that is remarkably close to my beloved 150-year-old Louis Lot, while offering the responsiveness and flexibility of a modern-day instrument. It is a true work of art. Every time I play it, I feel as though I’m sculpting sound, which in turn inspires me further to explore the expressive depths of music.”

Altus Flutes is honored to partner with an artist whose musical integrity and passion for education reflect company core values. This partnership was officially launched at the 2025 NFA Convention in Atlanta, where Paul performed and led Altus-supported workshops focused on technical matters and ensemble skills.

Altus Flutes is proud to welcome internationally acclaimed flutist Bart Platteau to their respected roster of musicians. A dynamic and exploratory voice in both jazz and classical music, Platteau brings decades of experience, global performances, and a profound artistic vision to the Altus family.

Platteau studied jazz with legendary musicians including John Ruocco, Nathan Davis, and Joe Lovano, and completed his Master’s degree in Jazz Flute Performance at the Rotterdam Conservatory in 1993. He also studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston as an exchange student in 1992, working with George Garzone and Matt Marvuglio.

From 1998 until his move to New York in 2010, Platteau served as the Principal Jazz Flute Teacher at the Rotterdam Conservatory, while also teaching for 18 years at a music school in Roosendaal, the Netherlands. He currently resides in New York City, performing worldwide as a freelance artist and a core member of the acclaimed Amina Figarova Sextet.

Together with his wife, celebrated pianist and composer Amina Figarova, Platteau has released and produced over 18 recordings, with most of them prominently featuring the Bb Flute d’Amore—his preferred voice of expression in jazz.

"I really believe that there is a physical thing about the Bb flute, which other instrumentalists, like trumpet, clarinet and saxophone players figured out probably more than 100 years ago. There is something about the physics of nature and sound that is magical with the Bb Flute d’Amore,” Platteau shares. “There’s a richness and brilliancy, and slightly darker but fuller sound than the C flute. In the lower register, it's almost like the alto flute; the third octave is very comparable to the regular C flute."
