"Bressan by Blezinger", alto in f', baroque double hole, 415 Hz, Brazilian boxwood stained
US$1,743.00*
The 312BUD415-BLE instrument from the Stephan Blezinger workshop is always a pleasure to play.The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the special combination of the expressive voicing that Stephan Blezinger gives the instruments with the Brazilian boxwood material used.
The instrument stands out pleasantly from the mass of baroque recorders thanks to its special sound characteristics.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical, but slightly wider in diameter. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical baroque sound.In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more ensemble-compatible than models with a narrower bore. Bressan instruments have a wider bore than other models by baroque recorder makers, such as Denner or Stanesby.
For which musical styles can the recorder be best used and who is the instrument aimed at?
The "Bressan by Blezinger" model is ideal for recorder players who want to play baroque music at 415 Hz.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the recorder head where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the nucleus of the instrument's sound and, in combination with the labium, the air sheet produces the vibration that generates the recorder's sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely influential for the variability of the instrument's musical expression.
The windway of the model 312BUD415-BLE by Stephan Blezinger is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrically shaped ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are extremely complex and many parameters influence each other.

"Bressan by Blezinger", alto in f', baroque double hole, 442 Hz, Brazilian boxwood stained
US$1,626.00*
The recorder with the model number: 312BUD-BLE from the Stephan Blezinger workshop is a recorder that provides tireless fun when making music.
This is largely due to the special combination of the special model design in symbiosis with the tone colours of the Brazilian boxwood material used.
This material fascinates with its unique advantages. The characteristics can be roughly described as follows, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of recorders, which is typical of the material, is perceived and described in slightly different ways by each person: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound,.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower inner bore.
What styles of music can the instrument be used for
Brazilian boxwood is excellently suited for instruments focussing on baroque music, other styles are possible.
Who is the instrument aimed at?
The above facts show that instruments made from Brazilian boxwood are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule to bear in mind is that a better quality instrument naturally makes music-making more enjoyable than a poor quality one.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound.
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 defining characteristics
for the recorder's ability to create music. The windway of the model 312BUD-BLE by Stephan Blezinger is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Stephan Blezinger 312BUD-BLE recorder is made in the fingering style: Baroque double hole.
Construction of the body
The construction of a recorder characterises in many ways the way in which the woodwind instrument is used on a daily basis, both in terms of ease of handling and safe transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.
Packaging and accessories
The model is supplied as standard with a case and matching accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is borrowed frequently, it is advisable to sterilise the headjoint regularly to protect yourself.

"Bressan by Blezinger", alto in f', baroque double hole, 442 Hz, grenadilla
US$1,931.00*
The instrument with the model number: 312GR-BLE made by Stephan Blezinger is a musical tool that can always be fun to play.
This characteristic is due to the skilful combination of the above-average instrument model in combination with the sound characteristics of the grenadilla material used.
The exceptional qualities of this instrument's material are strikingly impressive. The special 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. This is why the sound of recorders is perceived and described differently by each person: Grenadilla: Clear, overtone-rich and powerful sound. Very strong.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical. 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 scale.
What music can the instrument be best used for
Grenadilla is predestined for recorders focussing on baroque music, other styles are possible.
Who is this recorder aimed at?
This means that grenadilla recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second rule of thumb worth noting is that a better instrument naturally makes music-making more enriching than a supposedly cheap one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound production of a recorder.
In interaction with the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute tone is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore
extraordinarily relevant
for the musical formability of the instrument's achievable sounds. The windway of Stephan Blezinger's model 312GR-BLE is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Due to their design, windways are extremely complex and many parameters interact.
Fingering
The Stephan Blezinger 312GR-BLE recorder is supplied in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The construction of a woodwind instrument with multiple parts has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the recorder is easy to handle in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport. A point that becomes particularly important when larger or multiple instruments need to be transported.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.
Packaging and accessories
The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is lent out again and again, it is advisable to repeatedly disinfect the headjoint to prevent the transmission of diseases.
