Moeck 4300 "Rottenburgh" Unstained Maple Wood Treble/Alto Recorder

Our Description

This immensely popular range of recorders was designed by Friedrich von Huene after models by Belgian maker Jean-Hyacinth-Joseph Rottenburgh (1672-1756). Recent innovations have seen Moeck improve the Rottenburgh series even further - they now have an improved bore, an improved curved windway, an optimised under surface of the labium and a new sturdy key system.

The Rottenburgh series offers:

• a more sonorous low register
• a clearer high register
• an easier response for the player
• more variable tone
• a greater dynamic range
• easier handling
