yeah, like a fife, or a penny whistle. On a recorder however, you can play two chromatic octaves, because of the double hole at the end and the thumb hole near the mouth piece. It is impossible to have a six hole flute which is chromatic, in the first harmonic. But i would imagine because they are playing bach, It is most definitely a chromatic flute.
The 'instrument that looks like a flute' is just so; a flute. More specifically, a baroque transeverse flute. The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra only uses period-specific instruments. And because the western concert flute didn't come until later on in the 18th century, they only use baroque transverse flutes.
Actually, the modern (Boehm) (the one with all the keys that is most people know about) flute was developed in the first half of the 19th century and didn't become universally accepted until around the turn of the 20th century. This is an xlnt recording on period instruments. Does anyone know where this room is they are filmed in?
No, you are right spinoza 1111. In fact is made of ebony and ivory rings with a silver key ( for the D#) . The majority of the flutes from the 18th century are made of ebony, boxwood or entirely in ivory. I think he is using a copy of a G.A. Rothenburgh flute, being the original made around 1750/60.
I think it's the Weemaels Rottenburg copy and the original is thought to be c.1720, according to Weemaels website, original pitch a=400. I'm curious now, I will check the pitch on this recording when I get a chance....

Any idea how that flute plays the G# that's written in the piece, since it only has one actual key and that's for D#?
Galatea 2 years ago
Nevermind, I found it. I'll just say ick because that is a nasty fingering for G# and praise him for being able to play with that fingering.

why couldn't it?
Lightningbones1000 2 years ago
most flutes i have ever seen that did not have keys could only play the diatonic scale.
mortson978 2 years ago
why is that? does that mean it can only play in one key?

You say my society is grisly,
Like that of Hannibal Lecter.
Look you to the boneyard
And see the corpse menuet.
