Dagan Flutes & Piccolos
ABOUT FLUTES, COGNAC, AND MURAMTSU COLLECTION OF NEW 1990’s FLUTES.Did you ever see a half-empty bottle of Croizet 1928 Vintage Grande Reserve Cognac for sale at auction? WHAT IS VINTAGE?The word Vintage comes from the French and ultimately from the Latin vinum, meaning wine. Per the OED (Oxford English Dictionary): Originally (15th century), vintage just meant the grape harvest and by the 16th century was applied to the process of wine making (gathering, pressing, fermenting, etc.). The OED finds the first use of vintage as particularly good wine in 1604, and by 1746 it was applied to wine from a particular- and particularly GOOD harvest. The wine industry to date, still use the term Vintage to describe particular product, place, time and GOOD quality. Unlike the wine industry, other industries do not.VINTAGE AND FLUTES?In flute forums and groups on Facebook the word Vintage was hollowed empty and apply only to second-hand/pre-owned flutes, with no regards to particularity, authenticity and good quality. In these groups all second-hand are, from unknown reason, called Vintage: Junk flutes; not particularly interesting professional flutes; old famous makers’ flutes in deplorable conditions and used-to-the-bone flutes. Countless cry-me-a-river flutes change hands, sold first and brought to be checked and repaired afterwards. Sometimes (not very often) excellent second-hand flute in excellent condition, but strangely, never does Vintage apply to a brand-new flute, made in previous particular- and particularly good manufacturing period, meticulously preserved and kept for selective use in future. No full & sealed “Vintage Croizet flute” to be found for sale at flute forums and groups.WHAT FLUTE CAN BE CALLED SECOND-HAND VINTAGE FLUTE?In my opinion, only a particular- and particularly good second-hand/used-flute that is still in authentic and mint condition is a Second-hand Vintage flute. Otherwise, it is just a second-hand flute. A re-scaled Louis Lot is not a Second-hand Vintage flute anymore. A 1990 Muramatsu 14K gold flute (drawn tone-holes) overhauled with modern “engineered” pads (such as Straubinger, Pisoni S2 pads, or even with Muramatsu Lotus & MO5 pads) is not a Second-hand Vintage flute as-is, and perhaps will never be again after reversed overhaul. All such other “improved”, “modernized” and/or “converted” good flutes that are not authentic, are not Second-hand Vintage. Perhaps good or even excellent flutes, but, and with all due respect, just second-hand/pre-owned/used/occasions/overhauled/refurbished/like-new flutes. NEW AND VINTAGE? IMAGINE…Just imagine if one could find now, at the present, a brand-new Louis Lot of around the year 1880, or a brand-new Bonneville and Clair Godefroy from around the turn of the 19th century. Or a Helmuth Hammig, a Verne Q. Powell, a Wm. S. Haynes made in the 1930s or 1950s, all still perfect brand-new never-sold-never-used flutes! How would you call such New flutes? New “old-flutes”? New “long-time-ago” flutes? They could be called Vintage but not anymore, since the term Vintage was rendered meaningless in the flute world. So I suggest the term New-Vintage. Not worth fighting for poetical justice about that term, as there aren’t many such New-Vintage flutes around in flute shops, worldwide.NEW 1990’s MURAMATSU FLUTES:I still have a collection of meticulously preserved New-Vintage Muramatsu flutes from mid/end 1990’s manufacturing years. Now for long enough it became clear that most present-day (quasi)handmade flutes sound like trumpets and are produced without the ambition for perfection, and need frequent maintenances with extremely expensive spare-parts. So, the time has come to open my treasure and find for my New-Vintage Muramatsu flutes new owners, to love and to cherish.Feel free to contact me anytime yizhar@dagan.nlAt your service,Yizhar Dagan, The Netherlands, 2022.#muramatsuflutes #newvintage ...
