Soprano and Alto Recorders after Hieronimus Franciscus Kynseker by Moeck

About: These recorders are based on original models by Hieronimus Franciscus Kynseker (Nuremberg, 1636 - 1686) kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum of Nuremberg. It is evident from its shape that the Kynseker is the link between the straight form of the Renaissance recorders and the extravagantly turned baroque recorder. Its inner construction and sound also indicate an intermediate stage of the history of recorder making. Features: - The bore is narrower than the renaissance recorder but wider than the baroque recorder - Some of the finger holes are smaller than those of the renaissance recorders but larger than those of the baroque recorder - Its range is more extensive than the renaissance recorder - Its sound is almost as powerful as the renaissance recorder, but is better defined and more flexible. But it still does not match the elegance and agility of the baroque recorder. All in all, the Moeck Kynseker model is a unique instrument that is a pleasure to play. These recorders
