MOECK - fine wood recorders
Prices are in transition, please call us for the latest low price!

Made in Germany, MOECK is by far the most popular brand in wood recorders. Because we are professional performers and teachers, we know that there is variation among wood recorders, so we personally select only the best, checking each for tuning, attack and tone quality. Then we make any tuning corrections necessary (on recorders over $75) before presenting it to you for your final inspection. There is more to choosing a fine wood than just price. The wood recorders (except for those made of Maple or Sycamore) come with a maintenance kit. (Oil, brushes, care instructions etc.)

The school line recorders are: Flauto 1, Flauto 1 Plus, School and World For the young player - an easy-care, simple design. Made of wood, plastic or a combination

Flauto Rondo - an inexpensive but quality ensemble recorder made of Maple. The Rondo line now has an elegant baroque design with exceptionally resonant low notes & easy speaking high notes.

Rottenburgh - designed by Von Huene and fashioned after recorders by Jean Hyacinth Joseph Rottenburgh (1672-1756) in the Brussels Collection. By far the most popular and widely played Baroque style recorder. All have a curved windway.

Hotteterre - A tenor with a large warm tone in all registers. It is suited to solo playing with a range of 2 1/2 octaves, giving the player access to the Baroque flute repertoire and making it useful for contemporary music. Two historical instruments were used as models both from the house of Hotteterre. One is in the Musee de la Musique in Paris, the other in the Bruggen Collection. The Hotteterres, a large family of musicians and instrument makers, made great strides in improving the design of recorders, oboes, and transverse flutes.

Steenbergen - designed by Guido Klemish after the original by Jan Steenbergen (1675-1728) in the Frans Bruggen Collection, Amsterdam. The very narrow windway provides greater control of dynamics and pitch. It has a bright Baroque sound rich in overtones. Available a=440 or a-415.

Stanseby - reconstructed by Ralf Ehlert after Thomas Stanesby, Sr. (1668-1734, London) the original instrument is in the Frans Bruggen Collection. A Baroque recorder with a big rich tone in the bottom register. Available as a=440 or a=415

Kynseker - designed after an instrument by H. F. Kynseker (1636-1686, Nuremberg) The original is in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. A Renaissance recorder with a range of more than two octaves. Similar to the "handfluit" by Jacob van Eyck.

Denner - Jacob Denner, Nuremberg 1681-1735 Like his father, Jacob Denner was well-known for the excellent quality of his instruments far beyond the borders of his home country. Exquisite examples of Denner originals are kept in various museums and private collections. This Denner is modeled after an instrument in Copenhagen. According to many it is the best preserved of Denner's instruments. The Denner speaks clearly and effortlessly and the tone color is balanced in all registers. This agile instrument is most reliable in all registers and is particularly suitable for virtusoso music such as the works of Georg Philipp Telemann.

Breukink Slide-Recorder is built after the pattern of the so-called Ganassi recorders with a very wide bore and large finer holes. The remarkable feature of this instrument is its strong tone and extended compass. The special "Slide" device expands the dynamic range. This combined with special fingerings allow one to achieve a variety of dynamics and colors. It is particularly suitable for contemporary music; as well as, non-western music. One can play quarter tones, vibrati, tremoli or sudden dynamic changes with great subtlety.
