Gemeinhardt Quality and Design
Tradition and Technology
A fourth generation flutemaker, Kurt Gemeinhardt dedicated himself to creating remarkably responsive instruments with a beautiful tone which would distinguish them from all others. Today Gemeinhardt continues his legacy by crafting flutes that achieve a delicate balance between superb artistry and sophisticated technology for flutists of all talents and abilities.
Durably constructed of the finest materials, Gemeinhardt flutes feature integrally drawn and rolled tone holes, power-coined keys, and our exclusive four post footjoint construction which make our flutes exceptionally strong. Other features include Gemeinhardt's unique embouchure hole design, proportioned tone holes and pad cups to ensure even response and extraordinary tone throughout all registers. In addition, a Gizmo key (high C facilitator) is standard on every B foot model flute. Gemeinhardt flutes also feature superior key mechanisms for fast action and outstanding playability.
Known and trusted for their acoustic and mechanical excellence, Gemeinhardt flutes have become the preference of more flutists than any other flute in the world. A preference you'll understand once you play any one of our remarkable instruments.
