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.

A=415 Hz - The flute is tuned to Baroque pitch. 

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.

Crafted from carefully selected cocobolo 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.
