Description
A fine, rare, German flute in restored/playable condition!This is a very fine 6-key wooden flute by the important Munich maker Max Kneer. It was probably made between 1835-1845. Pitch is a very useful A=430-440. Note the “tuning hole” in the foot joint. This flute is very much in the style of the great Viennese maker S. Koch. The pristine embouchure hole is in his typically squarish style although smaller than most flutes of this time. It measures 10.4 x 8.8mm. This produces a sweet but concentrated sound. The condition of this instrument is especially nice. It was restored by Kelly Roudabush and has 2 repaired cracks in the barrel. The rest of the instrument is in near perfect condition. It has metal lined keyways and metal lined tone holes for holes with keys.The original case in very fine condition and adds to the value of this rare flute.If you are seriously interested in this flute I would be happy to demonstrate it and answer specific questions over Skype - please contact me.All sales are final
