In Episode 9 of our 'Meet the Orchestra' series Miriam Kaczor shows us the baroque flute, talks us through the different colours and timbres associated with various keys, and plays us a flurry of notes from a sonata by Thomas Roseingrave.
Did you ever tried Plastic AULOS Traverso flute? They are not that expensive as those of wooden copies. I want to know their sound quality compare to the wooden Baroque flutes.
I suggest you check out Baroque flutes made in resin by Vincent Bernolin. They are beautifully made, sound excellent, and are most affordable. I own two different models of his flutes pitched at A-415, plus one of his fine recorders.
