Our traverso reproduction is based on an original flute by Godfridus Adrianus Rottenburgh of Brussels, dating from around 1745 and owned by Belgian flutist Barthold Kuijken.
With its most important A=415 hz joint, Kuijken performed late Baroque, Rococo, and early Classical repertoire, with a particular focus on mid-18th-century music by Bach, Telemann, Quantz, and C. P. E. Bach.
A=415 Hz - The flute is tuned to Baroque pitch. (Also available in Classical A=430 Hz and Concert A=440 Hz pitch).
Crafted from carefully selected olive wood, the rings are individually hand-crafted from 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 register and 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.
