Otto Steinkopf instruments are considered to be the most authentic copies of historic woodwind originals. After many years in Berlin, building instruments and training apprentices on an ever-increasing scale, he accepted Dr. Hermann Moeck's invitation to join him in Celle, where a section of the workshops is set aside for the production of these historic woodwind copies. Production of these instruments is relatively small, since each must be very carefully hand-produced and tuned. The demand for them grows faster than the rate of production. Delivery times vary widely, with waits of up to a year possible. Construction of these instruments is an unhurried process, the end result being well worth the wait. Price includes a mouthpiece of brass. Also see Cornetto Curvo (WIN037)
