Gemeinhardt 11ASH Professional Alto Silver Flute

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. The model 11ASH is an alto flute with a silver Gemeinhardt headjoint created to play with ease throughout the entire range of the instrument.

The Gemeinhardt story begins with Kurt Gemeinhardt, a fourth generation flute maker. He was born in Markneukirchen, Germany, a region with two centuries of instrument making tradition, and served an apprenticeship under his father. Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Kurt left Germany to work his trade in St. Gallen, Switzerland, where he crafted handmade flutes for the world's most prestigious musicians. While in Switzerland his fame as the foremost creator of quality hand-crafted musical instruments spread worldwide.

Durably constructed of the finest materials, Gemeinhardt flutes feature precisely drawn and rolled tone holes, power-coined keys, and their exclusive four-post footjoint construction which make Gemeinhardt 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.
