Bainbridge, London - England around 1810 A nice 7 keyed bone mounted boxwood tenor double flageolet in good condition bearing the inventor and maker's full stamp: a "crown" / BAINBRIDGE INVENTOR / Holborn / Hill / London. Also stamped: BAINBRIDGE & WOOD / 35 / Holborn / Hill / PATENT. The baroque style sound of this flageolet is very sweet and all the notes have the same strong volume, which is very unusual, because it has not been restored or adjusted, still has the very old pads which could be replaced to further improve the instrument. The few hairline cracks have been repaired a long time ago, also one silver cut-off key has been repaired, but the action of spring is very sluggish. The flageolet has 5 solid silver keys, 2 solid silver cut-off keys. Measurements: Length over-all: 47.5 cm Speaking length D# tube: 27.4 cm Speaking length B tube: 27.4 cm Bore D# pipe: 1.6 cm at the top of the joint, 1.1 cm at the end of the joint Bore B pipe: 1.6 cm at the top of the joint, 1.1 cm at the end of the joint The English instrument maker William Bainbridge developed and patented the "improved English flageolet" in 1803 and the double flageolet around 1805. It is thought that Bainbridge invented the double flageolet inspired by John Parry, a Welsh musician and composer, who performed on two flageolets set together in one frame at a concert at Covent Garden. Two instruments in different keys are placed side by side with a single mouthpiece. They could be played simultaneously in thirds or, with an increase of wind pressure to overblow the lower-keyed pipe, in sixths. The cut-off keys allow to silence one pipe or the other. Parry subsequently became this instrument's most famous player, composer, teacher and proponent. |
