| Citation: | This research gathered data that confirmed the enormous work carried out by the Haupt and Silva families, as they were the great driving forces behind the development of the flute in Portugal. We devoted our attention to comparing their
constructions in order to gain a deeper understanding of the instruments. This comparison was made between a Haupt flute and a Silva flute, both in excellent condition, duly presented and analyzed previously, with specific characteristics of each builder, which may have other technical/sound characteristics that are different from other traverse flutes by the same builder. |
| Abstract: | The 18th and 19th centuries saw the greatest development in the construction of woodwind instruments in Europe. In Portugal, this was due to the Haupt and Silva families of builders. In order to understand the interpretation of the time, through the characteristics of the instruments themselves, as well as all the cultural involvement, data was analyzed to understand the difference between the constructions of the Haupt and Silva families, the main builders of the traverse flutes of the time. Historical research was carried out and important data was also collected by interviewing flutist and traverse flute teacher Olavo Barros, who owns one of the original Silva flutes (the Haupt flute belongs to flutist and transverse flute teacher Manuel Cochofel). The sound quality results were obtained from the recordings made by Teacher Olavo Barros of all the notes produced on each flute and were compared and analyzed, represented in graphs, using Spectrogram no. 16 by Richard Horne software. |
