As a model for a classic flute, we have chosen a flute of August Grenser, the famous flute builder from Dresden, which was constructed in around 1790 and can be found in a private collection in North Germany. The original is made of ebony and has four interchangeable pieces at the pitches of a=440 Hz to a=420 Hz. In addition, the original possesses a C foot joint and a D foot joint with a register. We build these flutes in different versions.

We often build the single-keyed version as an instrument at the pitch of a=440 Hz or a=430 Hz; the other keyed versions are almost exclusively built at the pitch a=430 Hz. Most often we are asked for the full eight-keyed version with keys for D sharp, F, G sharp, B, long F, long C, and C foot (C, C sharp). With these additional keys, the weak-sounding semitones, which otherwise have to be cross-fingered, can be played in a similar character as the "normal" chords. Yet the other usual cross-fingered chords also function on this flute. The tonal character is brighter and richer in overtones as that of the baroque flute.

Equipment / Delivery
For the construction of this transverse flute we use only the best long-stored woods, as well as selected materials. To protect the flute, we will send it in a handmade bag made from a tastefully patterned fabric. A wiping stick is also included in the delivery.
