Our reproduction is based on mid 18th century model (c. 1745-1750) by Carlo Palanca, Turin, owned by the American flutist and scholar Michael Lynn. It represents Palanca’s later development with an adjustable tuning slide head joint.
Lynn’s performances and research have contributed to modern understanding of the Italian Baroque flute tradition. He performed a broad range of Baroque repertoire on this instrument, with a particular focus on Italian and pan-European works by Vivaldi, Corelli, Telemann, and J.S. Bach.
