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.
We have developed a C foot joint with C# and C keys specifically for this model. Both D and C foot joints are included with the flute, giving the player the flexibility to use either foot joint.
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 C foot joint has brass Eb, C#, and C keys mounted on hand-carved key blocks made directly from the wood body.
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 keys are cast in brass and left in its original finish, fitted with a brass pins, steel springs, and leather pads.
A=415 Hz: The flute is tuned to Baroque pitch and is supplied with an A=430 Hz Classical pitch “corps de rechange” (replacement middle joint) that we have developed.
With its most important A=415 hz joint, Barthold 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.
The traverso comes complete with a fingering chart, care instructions, a care kit and a case.
