Flutes paired well with the voice and harp, popular instruments of the music room or salon. The flutes louder volume and ability to produce more dramatic dynamic contrasts led to its dominance over the recorder in both private and public music making in the first decades of the eighteenth century.Professional musicians generally used flutes made from wood. This pairs use of ivory and the ornate leather-covered case, which ostentatiously displays the instruments side by side instead of efficiently storing them in stacking trays, as is typical, suggest an aristocratic owner. Pairs of high-quality flutes such as these were sometimes produced for use by a gentleman and his music master. During the period when they were made, pitch had not been standardized.
