The instrument with the model designation: 2620-MOE manufactured by Moeck is a companion that is always fun to play on a daily basis.
This feature is largely due to the clever combination of the special design in fine tuning with the sound characteristics of the maple material used.
This material fascinates with its unique advantages. The characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. Therefore, the sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear.
The scale
The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical and narrower on average. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower bore.
Which musical styles are best suited to the recorder
Maple is particularly suitable for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, although other styles are possible.
Who the instrument is aimed at
The above facts show that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. An additional rule to bear in mind is that in most cases, a more sophisticated instrument makes music-making easier than a simple one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound of a recorder.
At the labium, the leaf of air produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the instrument. The windway of the Moeck model 2620-MOE is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their design and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Moeck 2620-MOE model is offered in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The way in which a musical instrument is constructed fundamentally determines the way in which the recorder can be handled easily in terms of easy assembly and safe transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Just ask veteran ensemble leaders.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, wiper stick, wiper cloth, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is lent out from time to time, it is advisable to disinfect the windway if necessary to ensure hygienic safety.
Flautisept has proven to be a safe aid in these cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Linseed oil surfacesRESONALacquered surfacesABS plasticsUntreated wood surfacesLacquered surfacesWaxed surfacesSpirit-stained surfaces
However, before using Fautisept, test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not leave any unwanted marks on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place tone holes in places in the body that are easy to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, tone holes on deep recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 2620-MOE instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands.

Who the instrument is aimed at
This means that maple recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule to bear in mind is that a more sophisticated instrument will in most cases make music-making less complicated than what at first glance appears to be an inexpensive option.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound production.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the basic characteristics
for the musical formability of the instrument's achievable sounds. The windway of the Moeck model 2621-MOE is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
