Description
Wooden Boehm flute
This is a charming wooden Boehm flute equipped with a silver-plated nickel silver mechanism. We have absolutely no idea who made it… Bergmanns Silber? Was Bergmann a dealer’s mark? A silver company? It is clear that whoever Bergmann was, he was based in the spa town of Bad Elster in Saxony, Germany. If you know anything about Bergmann’s Silver … get in touch please!
show more Its style and manufacture are typical of Markneukirchen workshops. Made of grenadilla, probably before World War II, this three-part typical Boehm flute, features closed-cup keywork. The embouchure has raised “cusps” on either side. If we look at the photos, we can see that the G-sharp lever was prolonged. The thumb rest is no longer present. Its condition is really great. It was played and used by a professional player who it seems took care of it. There are no visible cracks. The silver-plating shows no wear and the inside bore is polished and shiny. It is playable, but would need a pad rechange to be played professionally again. The flute comes in its original extremely sturdy case with all the goodies – two tenon protectors, aluminium cleaning rod, spring hook and plastic grease pot. What more do you need? Pitch? Well, this lovely plays at a=441 Hz with the head joint fully inserted. Its sound is bright and powerful with plenty of colours. show less
