The voice flute is a tenor recorder in D, often used for playing 18th-century flute music. This voice flute is made from European boxwood at a=415.

In the second half of the seventeenth century, the young journeyman, Rippert, left his homeland for the excitement of Paris, where he established himself as a maker of the finest recorders, flutes and oboes. In 1715 he was aging but still working hard, and it seems that his instruments were more in demand than those of the famous Hotteterre. That same year the musical amateur Uffenbach from Frankfurt visited Rippert at the rue Colombiere and ordered a flute "traverse" for his cousin which, when it was received, resulted in two more orders. Uffenbach also visited Hotteterre and was delighted to hear this master perform on a musette, but did not purchase any of Hotteterre's available flutes, only a copy of the famous Hotteterre method. Rippert made several recorders at a pitch close to A=440 (chorton or Venetian pitch). The von Huene Rippert alto gives the serious recorder player an opportunity to play at modern pitch on an instrument that sounds and responds like an original.

Two of the most widely respected wind instrument makers in the Germany of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were Johann Christoph Denner and his son Jacob. Johann Christoph was amazingly prolific, inventive and versatile, while his son refined the designs as the changing times demanded. Jacob Denner and Telemann were contemporaries and compatriots. Telemann wrote some very demanding pieces, many using the extreme range of the recorder. It is very possible that Telemann owned a Denner recorder, for his music demanded an instrument that could speak very easily, even in the highest register. The von Huene Denner alto recorders can be heard on many recordings by outstanding performers. This recorder is is made from grenadilla and based on the RCM profile.

The vihuela, despite a shape that bears a close resemblance to that of a guitar, was strung at the same intervals of a lute, and was especially popular in Spain in the sixteenth century. Unfortunately, only very few original instruments have survived to the present day and these each have quite different characteristics and sizes, and are generally very different from what we see in the iconographic evidence of the period. Between 1535 and 1576 music for vihuela reached its highest point, in this period the publications of dances, fantasies, sacred music and songs represent, with their elegance, completeness and technical accomplishment, one of the high points of sixteenth-century music. Vibrating length 620mm Own model inspired by iconography in Fiemme Valley spruce soundboard extra quality, two parts bookmatched Flamed maple sides Flamed maple bottom Cypress neck and headstock, veneered headstock front Ebony soundboard binding Soundboard decoration with wood and bone inserts Boxwood fingerboard Pearwood bridge with boxwood top Pyramid strings Includes hard case About the maker Marco Golinelli attended City Lutherie School in Milan studying the construction of musical instruments with master luthiers Tiziano Rizzi and Lorenzo Lippi and musical instruments restoration with master luthier Gabriele Negri where he specialized in building instruments of the lute family as well as early guitars and mandolins. Since 2001 he started working together with Stefano Zanderighi, a project that would eventually led to the birth of the Liuteria d’Insieme workshop in 2003. His work ischaracterised by great care in researching on original models and early building and painting methods. The instruments he builds are distinguished by their great fidelity to original models without losing sight of building details andcharacterised by a rich and dynamic sound.
