DESCANT RECORDERS
SESSION RECORDERS
Following numerous requests
and the building of special recorders for customers, we have
decided to include these recorders in the catalogue.They are
descant instruments in C (A=440) with a tuning slide to allow players
to tune up or down to suit the vagaries of pub sessions.The tuning
slide consists of telescoping brass tubes which make little
difference to the bore diameter when the slide is pulled out.
There are limitations as regards the instruments internal tuning
but you can expect satisfactory performance within a semitone of
concert pitch.
Built in Mopane or African Blackwood and occasionally other timbers, with a tuning slide and silver plated ferrule
these recorders produce a good carrying tone with wonderful volume
suitable for the loudest session.

THE GOTTINGEN RECORDER
The fragment of a recorder found in Gottingen, Germany and dated to the 13th century poses questions as to its origins. Was it a completed instrument or an abandoned project, for example? The fragment had faults such as the tone holes being seroiously out of alignment with the voicing and it was found buried in a latrine. Draw your own conclusions. My instrument is based on the shape of the original but plays in modern pitch.
Price £ 340.00
THE DORDRECHT RECORDER
Found in the moat of the "Huis te Merwede" near Dordrecht in the Netherlands this instrument, dating from the 14th century, bears tennons on head and foot, suggesting some sort of reinforcement ring or cap. The foot and cap on my instrument are entirely conjectural. Plays in modern pitch.

THE CONJECTURAL MEDIEVAL RECORDER
