    £1,150.00

It has a strong, warm and very expressive sound that makes it a versatile instrument capable of playing music from the 18th century to present day. The recorder has a SYNPOR block, a synthetic block similar to cedar, which imitates the molecular structure of wood and which can absorb moisture humidity through its micropores. With hard case, CD with sound examples, mop, cork grease, fingering chart, maintenance instructions. Listen to this recorder: Your browser does not support the audio element.
