flutehistory.com: Vincent Joseph Steenkiste alias Louis Dorus (1812-96) (96 words)
Dorus devised a closed alternative to Boehm's open G# key that remained common until about 1860.
In 1839-40 Dorus took part in an examination of Boehm's ring-key flute at the Paris Conservatoire, but it was not adopted at that institute because the Professor of Flute, Jean-Louis Tulou, whose company also supplied instruments to the Conservatoire, was opposed to it.
Having adopted Boehm's cylinder flute in 1847, Dorus replaced Tulou as Professor in 1860, the same year in which Louis Lot's cylindrical Boehm flutes became the institution's official instrument.
