Product information "Moeck, "Rottenburgh", bass in f, 442 Hz, baroque double hole, maple"
The instrument with the model number: 4520-MOE, manufactured by Moeck, is a companion that provides lasting playing pleasure.
This special feature is largely due to the clever combination of the pioneering model design with the qualities of the maple material used.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical and on average narrower. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound.In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower scale.
What music can the instrument be used for
Maple is ideal for recorders that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument.Who is this instrument aimed at?
It follows from this that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another basic rule worth noting is that a more sophisticated instrument usually makes learning easier than a supposedly cheaper one.The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound of a recorder. In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the musical expressiveness of the recorder.
The windway of the Moeck model 4520-MOE is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are complex in their design and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Moeck 4520-MOE recorder is supplied in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.
Multi-part construction
The way in which a recorder is constructed determines in many ways the way in which it can be handled easily and transported compactly for everyday use.
This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are to be taken along.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.
Packaging and accessories
The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chartHygiene tips
If the instrument is lent out from time to time, it is advisable to clean the windway sterilely at regular intervals to keep it clean. The product Flautisept has proven to be effective for this purpose. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Linseed oil surfaces, spirit-stained surfaces, untreated wooden surfaces, varnished surfaces, waxed surfaces, ABS plastics, RESONA, varnished surfaces However, before using Fautisept, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not leave any discolouration on your recorder.Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place tone holes in places in the instrument body that are easy to reach with your fingers. Especially on larger instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.The 4520-MOE instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This means that it can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands.
