Special features of the III model series
The external design of the Model III series is inspired by the stylistic features of the High Baroque period. The balanced shape, with its delicate decorative rings, offers a first glimpse of the inner qualities – and thus the musical potential – of these models. From the very first time you play them, you will immediately appreciate their vast tonal possibilities.
The Model III instruments embody clarity and expression.
The wide range of woods on offer makes it easy for you to find your personal favourite.
High-quality materials
The 132BI soprano recorder is made from pear wood, which gives the instrument a soft and warm tone.
The oils used to treat the inner bore and parts of the outer surfaces are free from additives and, where available, of pharmaceutical grade purity.
The clear and warm FEHR sound
FEHR recorders are characterised by their clear, warm sound, which, depending on the model, comes into its own both in solo performances and when played in an ensemble. The characteristic FEHR sound is achieved through specialised craftsmanship techniques dating back to the founder, Hans Conrad Fehr, which have been refined and improved by the instrument makers at the FEHR workshop over the decades.
Ergonomic design
It is often the small details that determine whether a recorder is comfortable to play or not. In addition to the position and size of the tone holes, it is the diameter and shape of the footjoint that make it easier for the little finger of the right hand to reach the lowest tone holes.
Working closely with leading recorder players, the shapes have been continuously optimised to ensure comfort and ease of use.
This is particularly beneficial during longer practice sessions or in the run-up to major performances. It helps to prevent strain on the hands and fingers.
