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, including works by JS Bach, Telemann, JJ Quantz, and CPE Bach, as well as to the early Classical repertoire of the late 18th century.
You have the option of Boxwood, Cocobolo wood or Grenadilla wood. Carefully selected wood, the rings are individually hand-crafted from Cocobolo wood or imitation Ivory wood, adding a distinctive contrast and elegant appearance while giving the instrument an added sense of craftsmanship and value.
A=440 Hz - The flute is tuned to Baroque pitch.
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 case.
