This rare AE Fischer flute was handmade in Bremen Germany and I originally thought it was a Rittershausen stencil but it is not identical to a Rittershausen. This flute needs a full overhaul – keys need full disassembly, cleaning & oiling as all of the keys don’t move independently and are seized up from sitting unused for many years. The pads need to be replaced as they are very old but on a positive note the pads are held in with screws and washers! The toneholes are soldered and appear to be in good condition. This flute is made of nickel silver (aka maillechort) with lovely silver plated finish throughout. It should polish up very nicely. The mechanism is closed hole Boehm with French-pointed keywork featuring offset G, closed G#, Bb trill, D# roller and C foot. Includes original case & key with crutch (crutch needs to be resoldered back together but is complete) in good condition. Case lock does still work. Flute does not play as-is but is worthy of a full restoration. Overall length assembled: 26 15/16in (68.42cm) including crown. Embouchure hole to center of C# tonehole: 9 5/16in (23.65cm). Embouchure hole to end of foot (sounding length): 23 13/16in (604.8mm). All photos are of actual item available for sale. Additional photos available on request! Please note that we have this item posted on other online venues for sale and it is available on a first come first serve basis.

We recently decided to keep a Bettoney wood flute & piccolo set instead so it’s time for the Rittershausen to find a new home, sadly! This piccolo is in great shape with the usual discoloration to the nickel silver keywork. The keywork is Boehm configuration with inline G and Bb trill key with French-pointed keys on the backside and the D#. It’s pitched in C at A-440hz and made of grenadilla wood. There are NO CRACKS and the mechanism moves smoothly however it will need new pads to be a daily player. Embouchure hole is sharp and round in flawless condition. The original case, sadly, has seen much use and the seam has split (very common) on the back. Piccolo has been kept in a humidity-controlled environment in a nonsmoking home. All photos are of the actual item available for sale. Additional photos are ALWAYS available on request. See our listings for other musical instrument items available!
