Our reproduction is based on a later 18th century model (c. 1780-1785) by August Grenser, Dresden, one of the most distinguished makers, reflecting the Dresden school at the threshold of the Classical era.
Grenser’s instruments reflect the transition from late Baroque craftsmanship to the emerging Classical style to suited late Baroque and Rococo repertoire, including works by JS Bach, Telemann, JJ Quantz, and CPE Bach, as well as to the early Classical repertoire of the late 18th century.
An additional corps de rechange at A=440 Hz allows integration into modern concert settings, maintaining the tonal character of the original design.
- Pitch A=415 Hz and (or) A=440 Hz.
- Crafted from Boxwood, Cocobolo wood or Grenadilla ebony wood.
- Wood-ends are protected by imitation Ivory or wooden rings.
- The key is casted from brass and features steel springs with leather pad.
- Comes with care instructions, and a guide with a fingering chart.
- Additionally, accessories such as a plush-lined protective case, cleaning cloth, and extra key pads are provided.
Also known as Flauto Traverso or Transverse Flute, you can check out others modeled after JJ Quantz and G.A. Rottenburgh
