The recorder with the model number: 26-HOP made by Hopf is a musical tool that is always a joy to play.
The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the special combination of the unique instrument model in fine tuning with the tone colours of the maple material used.
This material inspires the instrument with its special advantages. The special features can be characterised as follows: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear wood.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is cylindrical. 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.
Which musical styles are best suited to the recorder
Maple is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in the .
Who is the instrument aimed at?
The above facts show that maple recorders are particularly suitable for. Another important rule is that a more sophisticated instrument generally makes learning less complicated than a supposedly cheap one.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point of the recorder's sound production.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining characteristics
for the range of artistic applications of the recorder. The windway of the Hopf 26-HOP instrument is shaped as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Hopf 26-HOP model is supplied in the following fingering: Pentatonic.
Construction method
The number of components of an instrument strongly influences the way in which the recorder can be handled during daily use, both in terms of ease of assembly and ease of transport. This is particularly important when transporting larger or multiple instruments.

The special soprano (descant) recorder for classroom music-making. The classy-recorder belongs to the group of combination recorders from the Klassenflöten model series. The combination recorders are a recorder system that was developed / invented by Kunath Instrumentenbau especially for Waldorf schools.
The advantage of the combination-recorders is that a headjoint can be combined with different lower bodies (pentatonic, chromatic).This means that school classes that start with pentatonic and then switch to the "normal" soprano fingering can simply buy a soprano lower body - and save the money for another headjoint. Parents love the concept!
The scale

Recommendations on the way to a new recorder
How to find your new instrument safely
Seek expert advice!
However, don't let "generally applicable" rules such as "material xy doesn't work at all in ensembles / for professionals" stop you from trying out a recorder yourself.
Your taste is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide for yourself which recorder tempts you to play "endlessly". Our recommendation is therefore: play different designs that you have never tried before.
You can only gain new experiences.
The recorder with the model designation: 19147-MOLL manufactured by Mollenhauer is an instrument that is tirelessly fun in the classroom and on stage.
This characteristic is largely due to the clever combination of the above-average instrument model in combination with the sound characteristics of the pearwood material used.
This material impresses with the instrument's special advantages. The characteristics can be roughly described as follows, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. For this reason, the details of the typical material sound of recorders are perceived and described differently by each person: Pear: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group.
The scale
The inner bore of the instrument is cylindrical. 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.
What styles of music can the instrument be used for
Pearwood is predestined for recorders that are used in.
Who is this instrument aimed at?
It follows from this that pearwood instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. A second rule is that a high-quality instrument usually makes learning easier than an inexpensive one.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound production of a recorder.
At the labium, the air blade produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for the sound and response of the instrument. The windway of the 19147-MOLL instrument by Mollenhauer is shaped as follows: curved, cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are extremely complex and many parameters are influenced by each other.
