PHILIPP HAMMIG 658/2 FLUTE WITH OPEN HOLES, SILVER PLATED KEYS AND MECHANISM – BEAUTIFUL CONDITION
Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful used Philipp Hammig 658/2 flute. 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. Made in 2000, the flute has undergone complete servicing, with well-seated pads in good condition and a flawless headjoint that produces a lovely full sound.
Thus, this professional flute from one of the world’s top makers is ideal for orchestral, jazz, or folk music. The absence of a lip plate facilitates a more freely blowing, adaptable sound.

- Fully serviced used flute/secondhand flute
