| This flute by Jean-Hayacinthe Rottenburg (1672-1765) has been highly praised for its full sonorous sound and ease of response. It has also been likened, due to its long head joint, to a three piece flute that was simply made into a four piece instrument. The original is of ebony with ivory rings and cap. The pitch of the original is around 398 and may date from around 1720. |

| The flute d'amour is a large flute, pitched a minor third below the standard baroque flute. There are flutes d'amour in existence by builders such as Haka, Scherer, Oberlender, and others. The version that I make after Naust has been modified to play at A=415, although it can be played with ensembles playing at other pitches. There are pieces written for it by Graupner (who wrote many concerti and cantatas for it) Molter and Hasse among others. It is possible to play baroque flute music written for the standard flute by imagining you are playing in French violin clef or bass clef and adding three flats. Obviously, it is easier to transpose in this manner on sharp keys, such as A(C major), D (F major), E (G major), B minor (D minor), E minor (G minor), F# minor (A minor) and so on. It can be a wonderful sound, to play some pieces an octave lower than written. Early French baroque music particularly lends itself to being played on the flute d'amour. |
