Modern Alto Recorders – as featured by Sarah Jeffery

The 5347 Ehlert alto recorder by Moeck is made in grenadilla. The recorders were d esigned by Ralf Ehlert, and are suitable for recorder music from all styles and periods. On account of their strong tone colour and volume they are particularly suitable for playing with piano and other "modern" instruments. They have a wide conical bore, giving them the same strength of sound as renaissance recorders. The windway however is designed after baroque models giving it flexibilty in both sound and dynamics. The longer measurement of the recorder and the double key results in a more easily accessible extended range (2+ octaves). With different fingerings it is possible to achieve from F# - top C without the need to cover the bell of the recorder. This recorder comes with a hard case, cleaning rod and cloth, cork grease, fingering chart and maintenance instructions. This Ehlert recorder also comes with a free Moeck Z0002 maintenance set (recorder oil, oil brush, anti-condensant, paintbrush, maintenance manual). Baroque fingering Double holes 3-piece Made of grenadilla Includes free maintenance set (oil, brushes, anti-condensant etc) Pitch: a´= 442 Hz Includes case, cleaning rod, cork grease and fingering chart 3 year warranty

Harmonic recorders: Mollenhauer & Maarten Helder Lavishly equipped instruments developed in cooperation with the Dutch recorder maker Maarten Helder. Detailed technical extras place these recorders in the “de luxe” class of Harmonic recorders, the new type of recorder with in-tune harmonics. Expressive, elegant and dynamic sound: the right instrument for those who are looking for new recorder sounds. Assertive and strong so as to be audible in combination with modern orchestral instruments: in modern music, jazz, folk or indeed traditional recorder repertoire. Extended range into the third octave: this enables access to new repertoire in areas so far unavailable to recorder players, eg. flute repertoire. The fingering for the two lower octaves follows traditional “Baroque” patterns; special fingerings are only required for the third octave. Extended range in the lower register by adding a key for e'. Piano key: enables the finest of dynamic shadings.

Mollenhauer 5924E Modern alto (treble) in f', grenadilla, with E-foot joint and triple key e/f/#. This design was the product of collaboration between recorder virtuoso Nikolaj Tarasov and recorder maker Joachim Paetzold. A little longer than the conventional alto, it gives these lower notes a significantly more powerful sound than is usual on alto recorders and secondly, enables notes in the third octave to be played much more easily than on a conventional alto. 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, wiper wool, cork grease, fingering chart, maintenance instructions. Listen to this recorder: Your browser does not support the audio element.
