Pricelist 2026
For many years Alfred Verhoef has been making wooden concert flutes in seven different types of wood, each with a number of distinguishing properties: rich in tone with a warm sound and very responsive in all registers, a rich colour-pallet and a full sound, a precise intonation with a totally new scale and special beds for the tone holes, producing a strong projection. The carefully selected wood has been aged for between 20 and 120 years.
The keywork has been completely redesigned in 2020. The refined finished mechanism is strong, stable and well adjustable, due to specially designed adjusting screws and hardened axles. AV flutes are entirely made by hand.
The new standard model has a half-offset system, E-mechanism, open hole keys, a B-foot with three rollers and a gizmo key. The plates and rollers of the foot are angled at 5° for a better ergonomic position. The completely pinless mechanism is stable, and easy to play. The new AV 2020 system has, next to the already existing fixed C#/upper-hand-axle, a fixed underhand-axle with light and easy-going keys, the new sound strip-system and special AV pads. The keys are made of silver and are extra 1000/1000 silverplated, or, on request, 24 carat gold plated. Please find more information on www.verhoef-flutes.com
