The 333BU belongs to the model series III, which is particularly aimed at very ambitious amateur musicians. Detailed information about the instrument can be found further down the page.Special features of model series IIIThe external shape of the model series III is based on the stylistic features of the High Baroque period. The well-balanced shape with fine decorative rings gives an initial indication of the inner and thus musically effective values of these models.The instruments of Model III are characterised by clarity and expression. The wide range of woods on offer makes it easy for you to find your personal favourite.High-quality materialsThe F alto (treble) recorder 333BU is made from boxwood, which gives the instrument a clear and strong sound. The oils used for the inner bore and parts of the outer surfaces are free from additives and, where available, are of pharmaceutical purity.The clear and warm FEHR soundFEHR recorders are characterised by their clear, warm sound, which, depending on the model, comes into its own in solo performances as well as in ensembles. The typical FEHR sound is achieved through special craftsmanship techniques that go back to the founder Hans Conrad Fehr and have been refined and improved by the instrument makers in the FEHR workshop over the decades.Ergonomic designIt is often the little things that decide 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 foot joint that make it easier for the little finger of the right hand to reach the lowest tone holes.In close cooperation with leading recorder players, the shapes have been continuously optimised to ensure comfort and ease of use.This is particularly advantageous for longer practice phases or before major performances. Overloading of the hands and fingers is thus avoided.

The instrument with the model number: 343PF-FEH, manufactured by Fehr Blockflötenbau, is a companion that creates lasting joy when playing. This characteristic is due to the carefully considered composition of the special instrument model in combination with the sound characteristics of the plum wood (Prunus) material used. This instrument is characterised by the strikingly pleasant qualities of the material. The features can be characterised as follows: Prunus, plum, damson: Overtone-rich, slightly nasal sound. Goes very well with singing voices. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument 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 inner bore. For which music can the recorder be best used Plum wood (Prunus) is particularly suitable for recorders that are used in ensembles, for choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who the instrument is aimed at It follows that instruments made from plum wood (Prunus) are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second rule worth noting is that a better quality instrument generally makes music-making more enjoyable than what at first glance appears to be a cheaper option. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point of the instrument's sound. In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extraordinarily relevant for influencing the sound of the instrument. The windway of the 343PF-FEH recorder from Fehr Blockflötenbau is shaped as follows: straight, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Fehr recorder 343PF-FEH is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Multi-part construction The construction of a recorder has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled easily in terms of easy assembly on the one hand and compact transport on the other. 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 useful accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart Hygiene tips If the recorder is used by several players, it is advisable to disinfect the beak area if necessary to ensure hygienic safety.

The instrument with the model number: 353BG-FEH from the Fehr recorder making workshop is a musical tool that creates lasting joy when playing music. The instrument owes this special feature mainly to the skilful combination of the pioneering design with the sound characteristics of the bubinga material used. The material used for this instrument is a pleasantly convincing choice due to its special sound characteristics. The characteristics can best be described in the following words: Bubinga: The sound is powerful and has a certain crispness and carrying capacity. The instruments are uncomplicated and resilient. The scale The inner bore of the instrument 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 bore. What music is the recorder best suited to? Bubinga is predestined for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who is this instrument aimed at? This means that instruments made from bubinga are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. An additional noteworthy rule is that a better quality instrument naturally makes the ensemble playing more beautiful than a poor one. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements of the instrument's sound. At 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 range of artistic applications of the recorder. The windway of the model 353BG-FEH from Fehr Blockflötenbau is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters interact. Fingering The Fehr recorder 353BG-FEH is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction of the body The number of individual parts of an instrument characterises in many ways the way in which the recorder can be handled easily and transported safely in daily use.
