psaltery alto

The alto psaltery has 2 Octaves from sol (G) to sol (G), ca. 57 cm lang.

It starts a little lower than the soprano string psaltery but also ends on the high sol (G). The lower strings also make the resonance of the instrument deeper and richer.

Schilfflöten

Aus einem Stück Schilfrohr geschnittene Flöte aus Indien. Einer traditionellen Stimmung zufolge mit nur sechs Grifflöchern versehen und damit genauso wie die Tin-whistle zu spielen. Eine gute Variante zur Tin-whistle mit etwas rauchigem und wärmerem Klang.
Vor allem die großen Flöten in tiefer Tonlage sind eine günstige Alternative zur Low-whistle.

Neben den Blockflöten gibt es die Schilfflöten in gleicher Art auch als Querflöte.

Als Block- oder Querflöte bieten wir folgende Tonarten an:
hohe Lage in g (21 cm lang), fis, f, e, dis, d (29 cm lang), cis, c (33 cm lang), h und b
tiefe Lage in a, gis, G (43 cm), F und E (54 cm).

Die tiefen Flöten ab der Stimmung G sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig vom Greifen her und mit kleinen Händen schwer oder gar nicht zu spielen.

Diese einfachen Flöten sind in sich recht sauber gestimmt, der Grundton kann aber bis zu einem Viertelton abweichen.
