Flageolets

The flageolet is a recorder-like instrument that appeared in different models around 1800. The four most important types are: the French flageolet (with two thumb-holes and four tone-holes on the front; the English flageolet (with one thumb-hole and seven tone-holes on the front, functioning like a recorder but fitted with a windcap; the Patent versions of the English flageolet (with thumb-hole, seven tone-holes on the front – but with the tonic on the second step, semitone on the seventh step, using the first tone-hole for overblowing, and fitted with a windcap); and lastly the Patent flute flageolet (functioning in the same way as the Patent version of the English flageolet but without the thumb-hole). All flageolets are essentially 4-foot register instruments, sounding an octave higher than the written music. Over time more and more keys were added to the instrument; the French flageolet was eventually fitted with the Boehm mechanism as standard. Not many copies of these instruments are currently available; however, quite a few original instruments are still around and in playable condition. Music for flageolet was usually written at sounding pitch, so most of these pieces can be played on soprano (descant) or sopranino recorders.
