no. 12 keys - the normal 8 plus tulou f#, low B, LH C, high e to d trill

I have added some notes to the video

Thanks- very nice flute!

Thanks- one of the great things about old flutes is the sheer number of different models and then variations on those models.

yes, but I have a similar one for sale www.originalflutes.com/modern-copies/flutes/delusse-1-key-by-etchegoyen.html

Thanks - I glad you enjoyed it!

yes, pretty much - send me an email at usstamps@mac.com

Hi - this is the current version of the Bizey ruclips.net/video/EAMgTqnVgl4/видео.html

@@MichaelLynnFlute sounds really beautiful! Thank you🙏

@@faridrahmeh8479 thanks - all three models are excellent

I got a week ago my Bizey with 2 middle joints, and i am really so happy about, i am a recorder player and i am still in the learning process of the traverso, but i am enjoying it a lot, and i would like to thank you for you videos… they tell me what i will be able to get from this instrument :)

@@faridrahmeh8479 Thanks Farid - traverso is not an instrument that people get good at quickly, even very fine modern flutists have to work very hard to play traverso really well, so take your time and enjoy it.

Thanks!

Not a bad question at all. This flute, and still many flutes at this time, only goes to D. Some flutes went to C or even B by the 1830s. The more keys the greater the cost and most music could still be played on a D flute.

that is a standard way of playing that trill - the trill charts almost always give the wide version of the trill which is the second fingering. I think that fingering sounds good, and lively, when fast, but not so good when slow. Thus if you have a long trill, which is going o start slowly, it is usually good to use the 1st fingering to start and then switch as it gets faster.

usually an inserted embouchure hole is a rectangular piece of wood fit into a hole of the same dimensions. In this case the sides of the insert are all curved, making the process more difficult, one would think. There is a shot of the headjoint where you can see it.

it looks like the 19thC -2- 456k - I use all three fingerings at various times on this video. They aren't planned ahead of time, it is just a matter of choosing what feels right. I'm happy with it about 95% of the time.

it may have a slightly bigger bore and tone holes - it is a particularly "open" playing flute

Interesting, so is it slower to articulate since there would be a larger volume of air. I have an Ellis Irish flute which has very thin walls, very large tone holes and is cylindrical and that is noticeably slow to articulate for the lower notes. I’d love to find the ideal flute which is responsive like a Grenser but loud and clear and clear across most notes. Maybe a Palanca?

Thanks - this flute is from before they really started to make English flutes loud by making larger finger holes. The sound really does jump out of it - it has a lot of resonance which helps it project.

Thanks Barbara!

Thanks Charlotte!

Thanks!

Thanks!

different - Boaz makes 3 different Naust models - this was made of an original where only the drawing now exists, or at least no one knows where the original flute is as it was stolen...Naust and his wife where great makers.

Thank you!

yes, they are real flutes!

Thanks Dan

There is actually no wooden copy of this flute and the original no longer exists - evidently it was stolen from someone in a train station. Luckily it had been measured and this flute was made based on those measurements. It does have a nice full sound - some of that is because of the lower pitch of A=400 - generally the higher flutes are pitched, the brighter and less full they sound. Listen to the other two flutes in this series, the 3D Bizey and Tortochot. I think their volume is about the same. All three were recorded in exactly the same way to make comparing them easier.

Thanks for your very interesting reply. So sad that there isn’t an original, but isn’t the flute world lucky to have a beautiful sounding copy! Thank you for your suggestion to listen to the others. I will do that when I get some time. And thank you for always posting such interesting information on the early flute! I fell in love with it when I was working on my flute dictionaries.

@@fluteflaut Thanks Susan - I enjoy doing these videos - lots more I still need to make!

Thanks Jeff

Thanks Tony

Thank you - the color of different keys on the baroque flute is really fundamental to what makes it such a wonderful instrument!

it is a VERY good flute

@@MichaelLynnFlute yes, it certainly sounds like it. That's quite an impressive achievement for 3D printing.

Thanks!

Thanks!

(as the maker of the flute) .. THANKS! :)

Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks!

haha, well it is brief compared to how long it could have been.....

😂

Thanks David!

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

of course one of the big advantages of the Boehm flute being that the mechanism allows the fingers to be closer together where on the simple system flute one has a fairly big reach even on a normal D flute.

@@MichaelLynnFlute I wonder what would happen if one applied the Siccama-flute principles of key extension to a simple-system "alto" flute.... by the way, do you happen to know of anyone on RUclips who does demonstrations of those wild 19th century English flutes that proliferated in the years after the Boehm system was introduced (Carte, Clinton Equisonant, Siccama, etc.)??

Thanks!
