Moritz Max Mönnig was a distinguished flute maker based in Leipzig, Germany, renowned for crafting high-quality instruments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His flutes are particularly esteemed for their exceptional craftsmanship and tonal quality.

The term “900 silver” refers to the purity of the silver used in the flute’s construction, indicating that 90% of the metal is pure silver, with the remaining 10% comprising other metals to enhance durability. This composition is commonly known as coin silver.

“These instruments were owned by a professional musician who prioritized exceptional tone, craftsmanship, and playability. While detailed maintenance records are not available, the instruments have been well cared for, stored appropriately, and display only minimal signs of professional use.”
