NEW, MOECK DENNER ALTO RECORDER, BOXWOOD, MODEL 5334
Moeck Denner altos are based on a model by Jacob Denner (Nuremberg, 1681-1735) and modelled on a recorder found in the "Musikhistorisk Museum" in Copenhagen.
The recorder is made from boxwood.  Pitch is A=415.
The workmanship is generally quite good, but we do polish bores and check each recorder for intonation before it leaves our Wichita workshop.
The tuning is excellent over the entire range of the instrument and we find there to be little wonder that the Moeck is by far the most popular make of any recorder sold by us.
The instrument comes in Moeck's standard sturdy black case with a cleaning rod, fingering chart and maintenance kit.
And yes, we've sold them since the late 1960's.
We also find it interesting that the quality of these superb instruments is actually better today than it was in the past. The attention to detail in the turning of the wood is superb, with no "issues" associated with quality of materials.
Top recommendation on these superb German recorders. And due to the strength of the US dollar, they're actually cheaper than they were a year ago....
Questions about recorders? Write me! I've played alto recorder and baroque flute for more than five decades and can give you advice about almost anything. I played recorder and flute with the "Oakland Avenue Baroque Ensemble" for more than a decade, performed every trio-sonata known to mankind. Or so it seemed. Not a pro-group, of course....enthusiastic amateurs!
