Copy of Carlo Palanca 1-key flute, c. 1765. Ebony with artificial ivory and a silver key
This is a prototype of a new model of Palanca based on a different original than the many other Palanca copies. It is a much more direct copy as it does not have to be significantly re-pitched to play at A=415. The goal is to create a Palanca which really represents the original. The final version will include the availability of a tuning slide in the head joint. One exists in the original this is made from as well as another original Palanca.
