The following pages appear in a booklet Die Flöte by Paul Wetzger, published by C. F. Schmidt, Heilbronn, in 1905. These flutes were all is use at that time in Germany (though I doubt that the Giorgi flute, manufactured in England, was really used much).

Wetzger was a player of the reform flute.

From left to right, the flutes shown are

• Giorgi flute (line drawing)
