This instrument that we make is not a copy but a reconstruction. The basic design is by Fred Morgan and Alec Loretto, with some minor additions by us. It has the typical full basic tone of a renaissance instrument. Especially the low register is very powerful and the high notes are rich in harmonics and very clear. This makes the recorder very suitable for not only early, but also comtemporary music. The large bore and tone holes give the musician extra flexibility in his play. Pitch of this instrument is a' = 440 Hertz. Extra f barrel in a=466 or g barrel in a=440 or a=466 are available. If you would like to hear what it sounds like, we can send you mp3 samples from the latest CD's featuring this instrument. The price of this recorder is 780 euro. Extra joints for other pitches are 270 euro each. |
