Studio Traverso Flute
Traverso Flute
The traverso flute appears as early as the 12th century. Its heyday, however, was the baroque period, after which it was largely superseded by the concert flute as we know it today. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all common articulations.

Studio Traverso Flute
The traverso flute (Baroque flute, flauto traverso, side-blown flute) is a reedless woodwind instrument. Although the instrument had already appeared in the 12th century in Central Europe, it experienced its golden era in the Baroque period as a predecessor of the modern concert flute. Unlike the modern flute the Baroque flute has just one valve and a limited key range of about 2½ octaves.
