The alto recorder

Its characteristics:

Particularly well balanced construction based on one of the best surviving alto recorders by P.I.Bressan. This allows for the combination of very quick response with a wonderfully rich timbre.

A finely crafted narrow windway just as in the original instruments. This results in a soft but brilliant sound with great dynamic flexibility.

Undercut fingerholes over the entire instrument. This ensures good tuning throughout all registers as well as stable intonation when there is a change in breath pressure.

• Corked joints
• Range from f’  to g’’’ (with standard fingerings up to c'’’’)
