That's really nice. You should do blind sound tests between this one and an original one . Most people not familiar with the Baroque flute may not be able to tell the difference. I made a plastic copy of my Peter Noy Renaissance flute and my friends thought it was the wood one in a blind test.
someone else also suggested a comparison so I may do that in the future. I don't think they sound too much the same because of the big difference in materials but probably worth trying.
Wonderful work :) I plan to get my first 415hz from Jeff and your playing is wonderful. Have you ever reviewed on this channel VIncent Bernolin traversos?
Thanks! I have a couple of Bernolin flutes and I have always recommended them to people. I do think that when put back to back, the Wulf flutes have a slight advantage and play more like a wooden instrument.
@@MichaelLynnFlute that sounds great and glad to know you became part of the project:) At this moment there is no way I can afford a wooden baroque traverso and those Hakam Dim Traverso look pretty suspicious.
@@MichaelLynnFlute At this moment the only traverso I own is the Aulos af1 and honestly I have been playing more with it recently and the sound is pretty nice.
@@MichaelLynnFlute :) should I send you an email so we can discuss the payment options? I want the Tortochot model in 440hz and 415hz (just the extra joint so I can switch pitches) When it comes to the Ivory version, do you notice a difference and would you suggest it?
Thanks for the review Michael. How would you compare this instrument to something like the Aulos plastic copies of the Grenser flutes, if you are familiar? I currently play one of those but it seems like this might be closer to a wooden feel in hand and tone.
I haven't played any of the mass produced plastic instruments in quite a while but my feeling is that this plays more like what I would expect from a wooden flute. I have never been a fan of the plastic baroque flutes...
I'm a bit puzzled, because I have no idea what you mean by "inexpensive". Could you perhaps give an order of magnitude? I'm guessing I won't be the only person wondering this, so in the long run it might save you answering a lot of mail from people like me. - A 1000 $ flute is probably inexpensive for a professional flutist (such as your esteemed and talented self). - A 100 $ flute is inexpensive for someone like me - an amateur keyboard and recorder player who is dabbling in transverse flutes (I already own a Tony Dixon plastic Irish flute - 6 holes, keyless - in low D, which I play very badly, which cost about that; also a little plastic Yamaha fife which I can more or less play on some days but hardly at all on others.) - And 30 $ will get you a perfectly playable and pleasant-sounding plastic recorder by Aulos or Yamaha - or one of the aforementioned Yamaha fifes, with change. (To be honest, I forked out 90 € for a Boehm flute on a flea market a couple years ago... before I'd ever touched a transverse flute, and mainly because the guy had left it out in the rain... only to be told at the music shop that it was rubbish and would cost 5 times that to be restored to working condition ☹)
Thanks for the kind words sir! Your help on the project was invaluable.
A very interesting concept.. and in your hands it sounded an absolute delight!
Great to see a picture of your cat too 😊
Thanks Tony - glad you noticed Cici, she likes the flute too
Handsome, full tone, and excellent tuning!
It sounds great, and it looks like it is a breeze to play.
Thanks!
So amazing to see how you enjoy playing it.

@@535Salomon Yes, Jeff's flute are a terrific value - they are available through me

@@MichaelLynnFlute Thanks Michael, I've contacted Jeff and going to give it a try!
I am a beginner. WHICH ONE of these 3D printed treverso flutes? (is my main issue)
email me Michael.lynn@oberlin.edu

I think the current price is $250 which is very inexpensive for how well it works. Feel free to email me - Michael.lynn@oberlin.edu
How I can buy this Flute?
Hi Hermann - send me an email at Michael.lynn@oberlin.edu
