Ganassi flute
As Ganassi recorder is a recorder indicated that the work school of artistic flute playing and textbook of the diminution of Sylvestro Ganassi back from the year 1535th Ganassi describes the recorder as an instrument with a range of two octaves and a sixth. He knew three recorder sizes in the tunings g, c and f.
Ganassi probably achieved the expanded scope through a combination of certain holes and fingerings , which are now also known as Ganassi fingerings . Whether there actually was a separate type of flute that goes back to Ganassi is controversial, however, as only a few surviving instruments from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods have survived and the musicological writings from the period do not provide any information. The Ganassi fingering is possible on reconstructions of a historical treble recorder from the Renaissance period in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna .
Ganassi flutes are recreated by various flute makers for the performance of early music . They are characterized by a cylindrical inner bore and a strongly flared base. Their specific sound is described as powerful, robust, round, full, loud and clear and radiant in the treble. They are made as soprano and treble recorders in the tunings c, f, and g. Maple, boxwood, yew and fruit woods are used as woods.
