4205 Rottenburgh
The Rottenburgh soprano recorder made of palisander for recorder players who want to make music with their instrument at an advanced level. Built in three parts with a rotatable foot joint. Baroque fingering with double holes.
Over the decades, the concept, which was originally developed by recorder maker Friedrich von Huene, has been continuously tested and optimised based on new developments in recorder construction. Modern and precise manufacturing methods and comprehensive craftsmanship are key to this special series, which advanced and professional players alike can rely on with confidence.
Rottenburgh recorders are ideal all-rounders: reliable, balanced and with a full tone. Depending on the type of wood, they produce a warm, fundamental tone in an ensemble and a bright, expressive sound as a solo instrument.
Hardness scale
Our wood hardness scale allows you to compare the hardness of the wood used for this instrument with the hardness of other woods in our range. The sound of a recorder is influenced by many material properties. The hardness of the wood is a suitable indicator of certain sound characteristics: softer woods (hardness level 1-2) tend to produce a warm and fundamental tone that blends well in an ensemble, while harder woods (hardness level 4-5) lead to a bright and resonant tone, ideal for solo playing. Those who play both, in ensembles and solo, will find suitable all-rounders in the medium-hard range (hardness level 3).
Hardness level 4 - harder wood
The palisander (dalbergia stevensonii) used for this instrument comes from various regions in Central and South America. It is hard and particularly dense. The wood produces a sound rich in overtones and a particularly bright tone. This type of wood is one of the hardest woods in our range.
