Anonymous three dimensional object flutes aat zxx The fingerhole placement has little or nothing to do with the overall length of the instrument and bears no relationship to Western woodwind design. It is therefore perhaps futile to estimate an intended pitch of this instrument, if any. Instrument type: Bass Recorder in ? Materials: Maple(?), stained dark, brass key and ferrules. 3 sections. Appearing to be a turn of the 18th century bass recorder, this instrument is more likely a late 19th century instrument fabricated for amateur collector sales. See Notes. Key Holes System: 1 key, round, single touch, plus 1/7 holes. Mark Maximum: No mark. Condition: A brass bocal (windpipe) inserted through the center of the windcap, now missing. Chips of wood missing from various wood turning beaded elements. A wooden mouthpiece similar to that of DCM 860 exists, but may in fact be another mouthpiece for DCM 860. The current low F key touchpiece and saddle are obviously replacements even if the instrument is as late as turn of the 20th century. Provenance: Henning Oppermann, Basel, 2 Jan. 1930.
