Some of you already know - yet most of you don't... I actually play the baroque flute. Typically made of wood and dating back to the 1600's.

I have recently acquired an original Richard Potter baroque flute (ca. 1765) and I've recently completed a technical drawing of the entire flute as I will be physically copying the flute and re-creating it using maple first then experimenting with other various hardwoods to see which wood gives the best voice to the tone of the flute. The flute has had an extra 'corps de rechange' made, marked T.M. Prescott by Catherine Folkers in about 1977, so that the flute can play at A=415hz. (traditional baroque pitch).

The flute was given to me by an amazing friend and colleague whom is a professional baroque flute and recorder player herself; as the flute was given to her, once upon a time, on the only condition that the flute will be played by someone. It was originally purchased for £12.

I have since played this flute many times - and the rich warm earthy wooden sound that it produces is amazing! So here I begin my quest on re-creating an original baroque flute!
