Our reproduction is modeled after August Grenser (Dresden 1720–1807), built at A = 415 Hz for Baroque performance practice and repertoire by composers such as Bach, Telemann, and Handel. Supplied with an adapted interchangeable joint at modern concert pitch A = 440 Hz for use with contemporary ensembles, while preserving the aesthetic and acoustic character of Grenser’s work.

With both joints 'Corps de rechange' (A=415 Hz and A=440 Hz), it features a slide head and a D foot joint with a register. 

 

  • Pitch A=415 Hz and (or) A=440 Hz.
  • Screw cork.
  • Crafted from Olive wood.
  • Wood-ends are protected by Cocobolo wood rings.
  • The key is casted from brass and features steel springs with leather pad.
