Product information "Moeck, "Rottenburgh", bent bass in f, 442Hz, baroque double hole, maple"
The instrument with the model number: 4540-MOE made by Moeck is a musical tool that provides lasting enjoyment when making music.
This characteristic is largely due to the carefully considered combination of the special construction concept with the qualities of the maple material used.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical and narrower on average. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.
For which musical styles can the instrument be best used?
Maple is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as solo instruments.Who is this instrument aimed at?
The above facts show that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another noteworthy fact is that a better instrument naturally makes playing together easier than a simple one.The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound production. In interaction with the labium, the air leaf creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the variability of the instrument's musical expression.
The windway of the Moeck model 4540-MOE is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the airflow more than cylindrically shaped ones.
Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Moeck 4540-MOE recorder is made in the fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument characterises in many ways the way in which the recorder is handled during daily use in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other.
A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are to be taken along.
Recorder choir leaders know how useful good and compact recorder packaging is. Provided the instruments can be easily disassembled.
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 recorder is often lent out, you should consider sterilising the windway regularly to prevent the transmission of diseases. The care product Flautisept has proved its worth in such cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:- Glazed surfaces
- ABS plastics
- Untreated wooden surfaces
- Spirit-stained surfaces
- RESONA
- Lacquered surfaces

- Linseed oil surfaces
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places on the instrument that are comfortable to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes are not ergonomically accessible, especially on larger instruments. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.The 4540-MOE instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This means that it can also be played comfortably by players with smaller hands.
