Up for auction today is a Vintage Eric Lederer Silver Flute, Made in Schöneck, Germany. Erich Lederer was a master German woodwind maker from the historic instrument-making town. Operating during the mid-20th century, he belonged to the third generation of the legendary Lederer Flute Family, a dynasty with over 150 years of continuous instrument-making history. Erich Lederer flutes were predominantly crafted in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Because he operated in the Vogtland region (near Markneukirchen), his work shares historical and structural similarities with famous contemporary German builders like Hans Reiner and Philip Hammig. Erich Lederer instruments are viewed as excellent vintage German classics due to their beautiful, warm, and highly focused sound.
