It’s a keeper!

Love it!¨

This Naust copy is the same one that Boaz Berney made or is based in another Naust flute? This one sounds very nice.

These flutes sound amazing. Thanks Michael.💋

Wow, such a rich, full and even tone and response, and solid tuning! If we ever needed proof of the viability of 3D printing wind instruments, this is it!

Absolutely stunning instrument!

Sounds great to me Michael! What are your thoughts about the instrument? Can you share a comparison with the original in wood? It seems that you can play with a very full sound on it, but then I’m listening on a cell phone. I’ve never heard an early flute with that much volume.

SO GOOD! Thank you!

That was beautiful, thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful, informative video. I especially loved the point about the different fingering changed the colours in the early flutes. It illustrates how music in different keys changed the colour of a piece of music, thus changing the colour again should the music be transposed up or down. The whole video is a real joy. thank you

I love the recorder

That's quite a good sound. Timbre is attractive, and the response seems quite even over the range.

Lovely. The baroque flute has such a unique sound. Well played Michael. 💋

Woah! So nice! Great playing and a beautiful piece! The flute sounds pretty great too! :)

Thanks Michael. I love this.💋

That's great! I've already sent an email. Thank you!

Brilliant

That has such a charming tone. 😊

Beautiful! Thank you for the clear rendition of those pieces. That will help me study them.

This is just amazing!! I love your Blavet rendition! 🥰 beautiful tone!

I do not consider a near 1 hour & 30 minute video "brief".

Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing this.

A heartfelt performance of a beautiful work! I especially enjoyed the Passacaille, though I'm rather partial to a good passacaille (and chaconnes as well). Thank you so much for the upload, Michael! :D

Wonderful!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for this!

Very nice piece

Given that the six finger note is a B-flat at A415, it sounds like an A at A440…. and therefore this flute is basically of the same scale length as a modern alto flute! Though, of course, without the two bottom notes of the modern instrument. Imagine having to stretch that enormous distance with your fingers on a modern alto….

Fantastic tone!

Nice instrument, it has a little of the Renaissance flute timbre in various notes.

The video that kicked off my 3 year odyssey to make 3D printed Baroque flutes! :)

Another great flute, and excellent video. Thanks Michael.💋

What a lovely instrument! The tone is soft yet assertive! And, of course, your playing is stellar too, Michael! Thank you so much for this treat! :D

Very nice playing Michael.

Lovely piece!

This video is amazing, thank you very much! Best regards from Argentina

Watching this again and am just blown away by the character this flute has. It really does take your (excellent) playing to the next level and speaks for itself. Amazing.

Breathtakingly beautiful!

How do you order this flute? I have a colleague who is interested in starting on baroque flute, but his youngest also is just starting college, so he does not want to spend a lot. I think this is an ideal way to start. I like the sound of these so much more than the Aulos (what is the Aulos even supposed to be, anyway?). I have also been thinking of ordering one. I like having synthetic instruments to practice on because the climate in my apartment is terrible in winter; I put my fragile wood instruments in climate-controlled storage. As far as I can see, Jeff doesn't have a website and I didn't see that sort of info on your website, Michael. Do let us know. Cheers!

O Nannie, wilt thou gang wi' me, Nor sigh to leave the flaunting town? Can silent glens have charms for thee, The lowly cot, the russet gown? No longer dress'd in silken sheen, No longer deck'd wi' jewels rare, Say can'st thou quit each courtly scene, Where thou wert fairest of the fair?

The patina is gorgeous and I presume feels devine as well. Such a warm sound you are getting from it.

How can get stamps for my grandchildren free

Thanks Michael. lovely instrument, and very informative.💋

Nice you keep this on the Internet even if the recorder is sold. I'm interested to hear it back in case I want I consider to buy this Hotteterre, or e.g. a Martin Wenner etc. (like your other recordings of you recorders). Thanks.

Good personality good présentation 👍

great video, thank you for making it

Bravo l'interprete. Straordinari i flauti costruiti da Giovanni Tardino.

Is this for sale?

This is a wonderful flute, and a video I'm going to keep. Those upper notes have a very striking sound, sweet yet piercing, and I immediately thought of the sound of a Ziegler csakan. Would that be because of the cut of the embouchure hole?
