von Huene 'Stanesby Jr' Sixth Flute (a415)

The "sixth flute", or soprano recorder in d, was a very popular instrument in eighteenth-century England, used extensively in concertos and solo works by various composers, such as Woodcock and Baston. This von Huene a=415 sixth flute follows an original which changed hands between Edgar Hunt and Frans Brüggen, and is made from turned boxwood.
