Extant Flutes of the 16th and 17th Centuries

Principal source: Filadelfio Puglisi, 'A Survey of Renaissance Flutes', GSJ 41 (1988), 67-82. Puglisi Nos. are from Table 1 in that article, as revised in his book The Renaissance Flutes in Italy. All are tenor flutes, except where noted. I am grateful to Philippe Allain-Dupré and Boaz Berney for further information and opinions about many of the instruments. Another version of this table containing some measurements can be found at Philippe Allain-Dupré's Renaissance flute site.
