Experience the elegance of the Baroque era with this handcrafted transverse flute of the original Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773) transverse Baroque flute housed in the 'DCM Collection' of Library of Congress, Washington D.C. USA.
This 18th-century transverse flute, crafted from African Grenadilla black wood, holds significant historical importance in flute making. Renowned for its distinctive sound and characteristics, Grenadilla wood has been a preferred material for centuries, demanding greater care and maintenance to preserve its quality and longevity compared to Indian Cocobolo wood flutes.
This model features 2 keys: an Eb key and a standard D# key. It includes two middle joints—one for A=415Hz and the other for A=440Hz, which can easily play A=430Hz by pulling out the tuning head slide. It has an oval embouchure hole, imitation Ivory protection rings, and tuned in the key of 'D'.
The package includes a wooden case, a cleaning cloth, replacement pads for the keys, and a fingering chart.
History:
- Johann Joachim Quantz (1697–1773) was the best-known flute player of the 18th century. A prominent figure in the 18th century music scene. Quantz was renowned not only for his compositions and the influential book "On playing the Flute" (published in 1752), but also for his role as the esteemed flute instructor-teacher to Frederick the Great of Prussia starting from 1728.
- A Treatise on Traverso Flute Playing. This invaluable resource, published in 1752, offers insights into performance practice and flute technique from the 18th century. Its enduring value makes it relevant for enthusiasts and musicians seeking historical perspective.
- Of the eight complete flutes that survived are all from the collection of Frederick the Great.
Invention of Tuning Headjoint & Eb Key: In 1739, Quantz embarked on groundbreaking research in the realm of flute-making, contributing to the evolution of the instrument's design and capabilities.
- Quantz's legacy includes the introduction of the tuning headjoint, often called the "slide headjoint" or "swan neck." This innovative feature allowed flutists to finely adjust the flute's pitch by moving the headjoint, a breakthrough that significantly enhanced intonation across different keys and has persisted in modern flute design.
- Quantz's ingenuity extended to the addition of the Eb key. This pivotal inclusion facilitated effortless execution of the Eb note, elevating overall playability and enabling smoother transitions between notes. The Eb key remains a testament to Quantz's commitment to advancing flute technique.
