This boxwood tenor recorder, made in 4 parts like a baroque flute, has been specially designed for playing the traverso repertoire on a recorder.
The original instrument, which is today in the Musée de la Musique, in Paris, may well be the instrument that T. Stanesby described as being the "true Concert Flute" in his pamphlet on
the tenor recorder. The document contains an interesting fingering chart for this instrument.
