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.

FEHR, "Model IV", alto in f', baroque double hole, plum
US$673.00*
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.

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.
