PHILIPP HAMMIG 658/2 WOODEN FLUTE WITH OPEN HOLES, SILVER PLATED KEYS AND MECHANISM – (TWO HEADJOINTS)
Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful used Philipp Hammig 658/2 wooden flute with two headjoints.
The Philipp Hammig brand, renowned since 1780 for crafting fine flutes and piccolos, carries a rich tradition. Originally honed by Philipp Hammig in his father’s workshop, his skills were further developed at the Berlin firm Ritterhausen. Subsequently, Philipp returned to Markneukirchen, and in 1959, Gerhard Hammig, Philipp’s son, took over the family business. The instruments continued under the “Philipp Hammig” name, with the tradition eventually passing to Gerhard’s four children in 1994.
This flute, crafted from seasoned Grenadilla wood, features open holes, an offset G, a split E, and nickel silver keys. The silver-plated keys with pointed arms and a C-footjoint complete the design. The flute has undergone complete servicing, with well-seated pads in good condition and two headjoints. One headjoint has a reform lip and a squarer embouchure and has a focused sound with power. The other headjoint has a more classic embouchure that is slimmer and therefore produces a softer sound. Both headjoints are original Hammig heads and this gives the player options for different playing styles and music choices.
Thus, this professional flute from one of the world’s top makers is ideal for orchestral, jazz, or folk music.
** I am selling this on consignment and I would say that this is a superb price for such a flute with the addition of an extra headjoint.
