Check it out and tell me if these aren't some of the sexiest flutes you've ever seen (click "visit the gallery"). Man oh man!
Luc is a great guy too, kind and helpful. Unlike other flutemakers, he doesn't mass produce his models; each one is a work of art.

Rottenberg is a true Baroque flute, Grenser is more of a transition into Classical flute. Rotterberg will have a better first octave, Grenser will have a better third octave. If you want to be faithful to the period, you would use Rottenberg to play Bach, Telleman, etc, and Grenser to play Mozart.Doc Jones wrote:Seriously though,
what's the difference between a Rottenberg and Genser bore?
I can't belive I'm doing this. :roll:
Doc
Bore-wise, i'm not 100% sure, but i'd expect the Rottenberg to have a wider bore than the Grenser.

Part of the "charm" of a Baroque flute is that each note has its own distinct personality. The cross-fingered notes are more muted and weaker than the direct fingered notes, but they aren't bad. The intonation can be tricky, but you can usually "lip" a note a full semitone up or down.

Hey Chas; well right now I am a used up horse driver on the verge of passing out after another 12 hour day of being nice to tourists and trying to keep my two horses from ripping eachothers faces off. They are sick of each other. (two of the best looking, workingest guys it has ever been my pleasure to be aquainted with) But in 10 days it will be over and I will again have time on my hands. Oh glorious time. I can hardly wait. But now it is time for bed as I have another 4:30 am wakeup call. Take care
Tom
PS; Just to stay on topic, Lucs` flutes are too good to be true. I still can`t believe how much I enjoy playing old #13. What a sweetheart she is.

Thanks for the link to the new site Glauber,-it downloads so much quicker than Luc's old site.
His work is indeed beautiful,and those prices are just so tempting!
However,I can't justify another Flute,as I already have two Boxwood one keyed 19th C. instruments.

Yes. If it says it's in 440 or A=440Hz, then it's in modern tuning. If it says A=415, then it's in "standard Baroque" tuning, or 1 semitone lower (all fingers down will sound C#).Doc Jones wrote:These things are in the key of D aren't they?
