Our traverso reproduction is based on a later 18th century 1785 model 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, as well as to the early Classical repertoire of the late 18th century.
A=440 - 442 Hz - The flute is tuned to modern concert pitch.
You have the option of olive, cocobolo or grenadilla wood. Carefully selected wood, the rings are individually hand-crafted from cocobolo wood or imitation Ivory, adding a distinctive contrast and elegant appearance while giving the instrument an added sense of craftsmanship and value.
The D foot joint has a brass Eb key mounted on a hand-carved key block made directly from the wood body. The key is cast in brass and left in its original finish, fitted with a brass pin, steel spring, and leather pad.
The traverso comes complete with a fingering chart, care instructions, a care kit and a case.
