Gemeinhardt Co. is one of the largest manufacturers of piccolos and flutes in the world. Since 1948, they have been producing high quality flutes and piccolos with a good price. The most popular student model of the company is the Gemeinhardt 2Sp flute. This flute sells almost 50,000 units per year. This Gemeinhardt model comes in a nickel plated model known as the Gemeinhardt 2NP. Gemeinhardt is very popular in the beginner and intermediate market. However, people think that they do not produce the best models in the market. This claim is debatable since they produce models like 33Sb that ranges from $2,500 to $3,500 price point. The point here is these flutes will not be sold if professional flutists think that it is not a good model. Gemeinhardt flute is connected to Kurt Gemeinhardt, its founder. As the name implies, the name of the flute came from its founder. In the 1920s, Kurt moved to Elkhart, Indiana. At the time, that city is the capital for musical instrument production in America. In 1948, Kurt decided to open a manufacturing plant that makes all-silver flutes. After a few years, he expanded his manufacturing plants to accommodate orders from different parts of the country. Gemeinhardt recently acquired Roy Seaman Piccolo Company. It is famous for making handmade granadilla wood piccolos that is preferred by professionals all over the world. Today, Gemeinhardt is manufacturing different kinds of flutes from student flutes to professional flutes and bass and alto flutes. Probably, this brand is one of the best flutes in the market. Not only because they already established a good name in the industry, but because of the familiarity of people to this brand of flute. Gunnar Bengtsson writes about and reviews flutes - especially premium models like the Gemeinhardt 3SB flute.
