This miniature recorder was developed by the ingenious instrument maker Adalbert Koch. He made these gems for many years in his small hobby workshop on miniature machines optimized by him. The trigger was an exhibition at which he had seen a miniature recorder. But this one did not produce any tones! That was a ""can't-go"" moment for an instrument maker who practiced his profession with heart and soul. He developed the present models in weeks of his own attention to detail and precision - and they are playable! Even if he was only 99.9% satisfied with the result. The upcut (the distance between the windway end and the labium edge) is proportionally larger on these small flute dwarfs than on the normal soprano or alto recorder. We are sure you would not have noticed this detail if we had not told the anecdote. However, it certainly makes you more aware of the accomplishment that lies ahead.Oh yes, you can only see the picture of this little marvel at the moment. Our tip: Order a copy and delight yourself and others when you elicit tones or even little melodies from this gem. The fact that you are carrying such a unique legacy of an ingenious instrument maker with you comes free of charge.
