that sounds beautiful. i stumbled across this while researching the origins of the modern flute structure. i don't know why anyone added any more keys or holes when that design works just perfectly.
@oxysean because it wasnt complicated enough, for the romantic period some pieces would have be physically impossible to play if it wasnt for certain keys
By beginning with pp with small relaxing embouchure as possible, you will find some good focused point that your traverso sounds very spontaneously and beautifully. You can find the tone. Good Luck!
Mine is Beukers, too. (Dined with Simon last month.)
I have been performing on Simon's flutes since 1999. I think that he makes really great flutes. I have a Tassi at 392, a Beukers at 415, and a Wijne at 415. They all are really great!
One thing that I would suggest is to really try and not put as much air in to the flute like you would a modern flute. Sometimes we feel that this will lead to a louder sound. Sometimes it does and sometimes it makes the tuning much more difficult.
nice.Simon Polak? what flute, at which pitch, is this a copy of? Have you seen these videos (& the flute maker playing)? I think he has a very fine understanding of how these flutes sound.

Have fun with the traverso. John

Thank you Mark. The boxwood makes a very nice sound - and so do you!

I love the wooden flutes. I wish I had one. I'd probably feel more compelled to play it than my metal flute.

Hi, Yes, Simon Polak. It is his Beuker's replica with the 415 section. Which videos do you refer to? Thanks!
