    PO ref. PO1586S As new Tom Prescott Alto Recorder (a415) after Bressan in Stained Boxwood (Reconditioned) no. 2479 with soft padded roll bag. It is no surprise that so many makers copy the superb instruments of P. Bressan. The original of this instrument, part of Edgar Hunt's private collection, is one of the finest examples of Bressan's work. Although the Hunt Bressan is pitched at a407, it has been possible to pitch ours at a415 with minimal changes from the original design. The full, rich tone colour and perfect intonation make this a recorder that almost plays itself, freeing the player to concentrate on the music.
