Gammel tverrfløyte i E-dur
Beskrivelse av varen
Antikk engelsk tverrfløyte. Den er blitt justert av den irske fløyte-legenden Hammy Hamilton til grunntonen E, noe som gjør den praktisk til å spille låter i E-dur og A-dur.
Hammy skriver følgende om instrumentet:
This flute is stamped ( very fainlty ) on the head:
Douglas & Co.
South St. EC
London
There is no doubt that Douglas & Co. were dealers rather than makers, and this flute, in cocus with nickel silver keys is strongly reminiscent of the Pratten's Perfected type instruments by Boosey or Hawkes, and dates from the late 19th or early 20th century.
I believe this flute was originally in high pitch D. I'm convinced that perhaps due to damage to the lower end of the body some one decided at some stage in the past to shorten the body, and the head, to bring the flute up to Eb. ( see photos ) When I got the flute, it was obvious that this ploy hadn't worked, in that the flute was well sharp of Eb, the scale was poor, and the lower end was weak. I decided that the best plan to restore the flute to playability was to sharpen the flute further, making the bottom note E. This was achieved by further shortening the body, and some work on the head which allowed the slide to be pushed in further. Finally some judicious reaming realigned the bore at the body foot junction.
