MAKERS OF HANDCRAFTED BOEHM FLUTES :
One of the oldest family run businesses producing Boehm flutes in the entire world.
The family business, located in the Swabian village of Ottenbach for over 125 years, has been making tailor-made and exclusively handcrafted flutes and piccolos.
The standout quality of the instruments and repair attracts flutists from all over the world to this small atelier staffed with 3 master builders and 2 apprentices.
This silver flute is made of silver-plated nickel silver, with a nickel silver headjoint and bakelite lip plate. The pads are in great condition, and the whole flute is in solid working order.
This flute was made in 1962 by Franz Mehnert, a master flute maker working out of Stuttgart, Germany. He came from a long line of experts in the field, and his descendants, now based out of Ottenbach, continue the tradition.
