Transverse Flute
This transverse flute or Querflöte is made of rosewood, with rings and valves in silver, and an ivory crown. The B valve has been ruined. The rosewood has multiple cracks and the ivory shows discoloration. The silver keys are bent, and the steel pins are rusted presumably through a combination of physical impact and water damage sustained during its time in storage. Somehow the elaborately decorated crown screw on the head joint is very well preserved.
Transverse flute, Rosewood, nickel silver and ivory. Heinrich Friedrich Meyer, Hannover before 1897. Salvaged from the Alte Münze Tresor, Berlin in 1945. Inventory number: 1313. Collection: Musikinstrumenten-Museum, Berlin.
