Here is a listing of our baroque style soprano, alto, voice flute, tenor and bass recorders for sale at A415 or lower or with two centers at A440/A415. These instruments are designed with a strongly conical bore, which facilitates the production of high notes and helps the instrument produce tones rich in harmonics. All instruments, new and used, are sold with a 7-day trial period. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase.

 | Tenor | 415 | European
Boxwood | Three | Double | English | New -
Based on an instrument found in Leipzig with no maker's marks. Blezinger
thinks it's of Italian origin. I think it's from Nurnberg, probably by
Schell, based on the turning. In any case it's the most powerful keyless
baroque tenor now being made! The ergonomics are excellent and even
players with small hands can get the low C! On top of everything else,
the tone is supple and smooth even through the high notes. |
