Description
Flute – Christian Friedrich Hetsch
This delightful, boxwood flute with horn rings and a brass key was made by Christian Friedrich HETSCH (1798-1880), sometime around 1840. He was the last in a generation of woodwind instrument makers and musicians who lived in the town of Urach, in the Swabian Alp in Germany.
The flute has been cleaned and restored, with a new pad and head cork. Some of the original thread was reused for the tenons.
It has good intonation and strength and plays nicely with bright and colourful tones at a pitch of a=440 Hz.
