STUDIO TRAVERSO FLUTE

This library brings the transverse flute from the VI Historic Winds I Collection to the large hall (Stage A) of the Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been redesigned and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player with regard to flexibility, balance and user-friendliness in order to enable rapid and creative work.

The traverso flute (Ital.: flauto traverso) is considered a precursor of the modern transverse flute. Although their occurrence as early as the 12th century. could be proven in Central Europe, it reached its heyday in the Baroque period. In contrast to the modern transverse flute, the transverse flute only has one key and a range of approx. 2 ½ octaves. Grenadil, boxwood, ebony and olive wood were used as materials. The sound of the transverse flute is softer and quieter than that of the modern transverse flute and more closely resembles the recorder. Today, transverse flutes are increasingly being used again as part of so-called "historical performance practice".

With the convolution reverb integrated into the Vienna Synchron Player, the relatively dry recorded instrument is optimally placed in the 540 m² Stage A of the Synchron Stage Vienna. The tailor-made mixer presets deliver out-of-the-box spatial sound and are a perfect match for the instruments in the SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds Collection as well as all other products in the Synchron Series .
