These hand-made early flute technical drawings are the result of incalculable hours of work in museums and private collections, starting in 1979.


The method applied comes from my regretted teacher, the Australian recorder-maker Frederic Morgan (see the drawings of Frans Bruggen’s recorder collection published by Zen-On , Japan).


Each flute is represented full-size as it came, and ideally all the information is condensed into one sheet of 8½ by 14 inches ( 215 / 355mm). In these drawings I try as much as possible to provide the personal touch of the maker. Dimensions are taken in millimetres with a calliper.


The bore is measured with a telescopic gauge on every variation of 0.1mm finding the furthest position from the beginning of the larger side of each joint. Sometimes, when the bore is warped and oval, the maximum and minimum measures were taken.


The shape of the holes’ undercut (embouchure and fingers) is shown by drawing the inner shape of the chimney. White paper was inserted into the bore for light reflection. Four points of the hole circle are given, north, south, east and west. The dimensions of the lower part of the chimney are taken by printing the shape with moulding paste on a stick.


The pitch is taken in Hertz on A, and the tuning expressed in Cents from equal temperament using an electronic tuner. When necessary, I also give the fingerings.


Tuning is a problematic subject on the traverso (baroque flute) because of the different embouchure techniques of players. For my part, as much as possible, I follow Quantz’s own advice in his famous treatise. He explains that when we put the pieces together we should turn the embouchure hole inside towards the lips of the player. The edge which receives the air should be in line with the inner side of the finger holes. When playing the second D, the embouchure should be half covered.
