Moeck 4201 Rottenburgh Soprano

This was my first wooden descant recorder after playing a range of plastic recorders for a while and I am very pleased with it. I am not a professional or expert recorder player and use this recorder mainly for personal playing and learning. It has a nice, clear and bright tone with all notes easy to play. In my opinion it sounds better than most the top of the range plastic recorders I own and does not clog with condensation often. The Rottenburgh also looks aesthetically beautiful and appears quite expensive with the dark stain effect, while it also comes with a nice zipped box to keep it in.

It is impregnated with wax so does not require oiling like other wooden recorders.

Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
