3D print Baroque Flute (Charles Biziey 1740 restoration)
This model is a reconstruction of a transverse flute originally crafted by Bizey, made in Paris, France, around 1740. The original flute was made of ivory, divided into four sections, and featured a silver key along with four silver ferrules and a cap. The embouchure hole was small and circular, with a slight notch, and the instrument bore a delicate fleur-de-lis engraving and the mark "BIZEY."https://collections.ed.ac.uk/mimed/record/15787?highlight=bizey
The model was precisely reconstructed using CAD software based on the museum's technical drawings. It accurately replicates the external structure and internal conical bore of the original flute, as well as the undercutting of the tone holes, which were crafted to the exact dimensions of the original. The metal rings were designed as a single unit, and the key was redesigned to be compatible with 3D printing.
includes seven files:
four main parts of the flute – head, left, right, and end
– tuning cork, cap, and key.
The flute sections were designed for seamless assembly, while the tuning cork and cap allow for precise pitch adjustments. The key was modeled to match the original design and optimized for 3D printing.
Including two drawings showing how to install the keys and cork.
Please do not share the model, with your support I will be able to build more models of historical musical instruments!
