Band flute set – PÖSCHL, Josef
Here we have nice pair of band flutes made around 1930s/40s by Josef/Joseph PÖSCHL (1866-1947).
Joseph Pöschl was born in Graslitz, today’s Kraslice in the Czech Republic. He appears in the Munich address books in 1894 as a music instrument maker and musician in Sendlingerstrasse. We can only guess that he was working for an existing maker at that time. There is a link, through various apprentices, right back to Georg OTTENSTEINER (1815-1879).
show more The woodwind maker Wilhelm HESS Junior (1841-1880) had become successor to Georg OTTENSTEINER (1815-1879). When Wilhelm Hess Junior died, the business would become Osterried & Gerlach. Joseph Pöschl obtained citizen’s rights in Munich in 1908, and took over the Osterried & Gerlach company. It was in business in the directories until around 1943. His former apprentice, Leo LORENZ continued the workshop until around 1977, but made no more instruments. Band flute 1, with its lovely nickel silver ferrules is a C-sharp instrument in grenadilla. Therefore, when all the fingerholes are covered, it produces a C-sharp. It has six regular tone holes, found on earlier fifes, and a seventh elevated hole for the right little finger or pinky finger. It is in good condition and plays around a=438 Hz. Band flute 2 is also made of grenadilla, but it is a C instrument. Like its partner, it plays at a pitch of around a=438 Hz, has seven tone holes (one is elevated) and is in working condition. The set comes in a military-style case, which may or may not be original. show less
