Carlo Palanca was an active bassoon player and instrument maker in Turin, where he died at the ripe old age of 95 in 1783. In contrast to many other Baroque flutes, his instrument has an oval embouchure, giving a more powerful sound. In addition, the original is manufactured in ebony, which compresses the sound still more. Nevertheless, the Palanca flute is not a “crude” instrument, but rather delights with the most diverse tonal shades. The usually very muted cross fingered notes such as F, G sharp or B flat are especially robust and dense on this flute. The Palanca flute can be described as a universal instrument that covers a wide-ranging flute repertoire. It is especially suited for music by Locatelli, Platti, Händel and also J. Our Palanca flute is based on an original in a private collection in Frankfurt. This flute is in ebony. The pitch is a=415 Hz.

Palanca was a bassoonist in the Turin court ensemble as well as a maker of oboes, recorders, bassoons, and flutes. Several examples of his flutes survive: all seem to be late 18th-century examples. The Palanca flute shares many of the design characteristics of the August and Heinrich Grenser flutes; like them it prefers key signatures with sharps to those with flats, but has a more robust tone. People use the Palanca flute for all sorts of music: it shares many of the sound characteristics of early 18th-century flutes while still providing the facility of the classical flute. Notable examples of its cosmopolitan nature are provided by Jed Wentz’s recordings of Bach, Locatelli, and Handel with his ensemble Musica ad Rhenum.

This is an amazing little trumpet in amazing condition. I wish I knew the history of this horn, but I can tell you that it hasn’t seen any abuse it its 60+ years since being built. I bought it to play piccolo trumpet literature and I’m not sure why more people don’t play D trumpet for piccolo literature. Most of the music is in the key of D which mean you get to play everything in C on this horn! It’s amazing how liberating it feels to play Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi and other Baroque pieces on this horn rather than on the Picc. I was actually looking for a good D trumpet for a long time before finding this horn. I was astonished to find a horn that played this well in such great condition. It really looks like it sat on a shelf or in a dry closet for most if not all of it’s life before I bought it. The case is also evidence to this. I would almost call it a time capsule from the 50’s. The case even has the original keys! All the slides and valves work flawlessly. The valves are yet another sign of the amazing original condition of this horn. My work has transitioned a bit over the past few years and I’m not gigging as much as I used to. I realized that I didn’t play a single wedding the past year and it no longer makes sense for me to hang on to this horn. If I were looking to get back into playing Baroque music for weddings etc, I would definitely seek out this horn rather than another piccolo. You would be hard pressed to find anther one is such great shape. I’ll try to upload a video of me playing the horn if I can figure out how to do that!
