    reed flutes

    A flute from India cut from a piece of reed. According to a traditional tuning, it has only six finger holes and can therefore be played just like the tin-whistle. A good alternative to the tin-whistle with a slightly smokier and warmer sound.
    The large flutes with a low pitch are a particularly favourable alternative to the low-whistle.

    In addition to the recorders, reed flutes of the same type are also available as traverse flutes.

    We offer the following keys for recorders and flutes:
    high register in g (21 cm long), f sharp, f, e, d sharp, d (29 cm long), c sharp, c (33 cm long), b and b flat
    low register in a, g sharp, G (43 cm), F and E (54 cm).

    The low flutes from tuning G upwards take some practice in terms of fingering and are difficult or impossible to play with small hands.

    These simple flutes are quite cleanly tuned, but the fundamental tone can deviate by up to a quarter tone.

    Chalumeau

    The chalumeau is a predecessor of the clarinet. Its French name originated from the barock period. The technique of producing a sound using a simple reed was developed a few hundred years earlier.
    The chalumeaux is played in the same way as the clarinet or saxophon but requires less air and lip pressure to produce its soft, low purring sound. It is appealing and easy to learn.
    The instrument is tuned in the key of C ( Do) and can be played chromatically. The fingering is the same as for a soprano recorder.

    Zur Zeit fertigen wir die Chalumeau aus Elsbeere, ein dem Birnbaum sehr ähnliches Holz.
