Paradoxically, German flutists remained faithful for a long time, and perhaps still do today, to the wooden flute with a conical bore. It was nothing more than an evolution of the Baroque flute, whose characteristic delicate, nuanced sound, lost in the Boehm flute, was appreciated. Julius Heinrich Zimmermann was a well-known Leipzig maker who produced excellent flutes from the turn of the XIX century. The flute I present here is proof of this: beautiful wood, beautiful keys, down to B. The action and woodwork are in good condition, the flute is complete, and comes with its beautiful original case. The A is 435 and the weight is 496 grams. I have for sale in the site another Zimmermann flute. And many german flutes not online, just ask! The flute needs new pads.
