The Moeck sopranino recorder from the "Rondo" model series is a wooden recorder in the classic construction method.
The instrument is made of paraffinised wood, varnished and has proven itself a thousand times over.
The instrument with the model designation: 3110-MOE from the Moeck workshop is an instrument that is always a joy to play.
This special feature is largely due to the masterful combination of the pioneering instrument model with the tone colours of the maple material used.
This material makes a strikingly pleasant impression on the instrument thanks to its special advantages. The features can be characterised in this way, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, the details of the typical material sound of recorders are perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear wood.
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.
Which musical styles can the recorder be used for?
Maple is ideal for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are also possible.
Who the instrument is aimed at
It follows that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a better quality instrument will in most cases make learning less complicated than a supposedly cheap one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the determining element in the sound production of a recorder.
At the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute tone is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining characteristics
for the artistic usability of the instrument. The windway of the Moeck 3110-MOE instrument is constructed as follows: Curved, cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are extremely complex and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Moeck 3110-MOE recorder is offered in the fingering: German single hole.
Construction of the body
The construction of a musical instrument strongly influences the way in which the recorder can be easily handled in terms of ease of grip and safe transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Recorder orchestra leaders will agree with us.
Packaging and accessories
The model is supplied as standard with a bag in a sturdy cardboard box and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart
Hygiene tips
If the instrument is rented out frequently, it is advisable to disinfect the windway at regular intervals for your own protection.
The care product Flautisept has proven to be a reliable helper in these cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Lacquered surfaces, linseed oil surfaces, glazed surfaces, spirit-stained surfaces, untreated wooden surfaces, waxed surfaces, ABS plastics, RESONA
However, it is essential that you test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any unwanted marks on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body that are comfortable and easy to play with your fingers. Particularly on bass instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 3110-MOE instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands.

Das Instrument mit der Artikelnummer: 4100-MOE gefertigt von Moeck ist eine Blockflöte, die beim Musizieren immer aufs Neue Spaß am Musizieren schenkt.
Dieser Umstand liegt an der meisterhaften Zusammenstellung des genialen Designs in Symbiose mit den Vorzügen des verwendeten Materials Ahorn.
Dieses Material überzeugt bei dem Instrument auffallend angenehm durch seine einzigartigen Vorzüge. Die Eigenschaften lassen sich so charakterisieren, wobei es in der Natur der Sache liegt, dass Klänge immer nur sehr unzureichend mit Worten beschrieben werden können. Daher wird der Klang von Blockflöten von jedem Menschen in Details unterschiedlich wahrgenommen und beschrieben: Ahorn: Warm und Klar, etwas dünner als Birnbaum.
Die Mensur
Die Innenbohrung der Blockflöte ist schwach zylindrokonisch. Diese Art des Bohrungsverlaufs gibt dem Instrument seinen typischen Klang.
Prinzipiell klingen Blockflöten mit weiterer Bohrung wärmer, voller, grundtöniger und damit ensemblefähiger als Instrumente mit engerer Innenbohrung.
Für welche Musik kann das Instrument am besten eingesetzt werden
Ahorn ist hervorragend geeignet für Instrumente, die im Ensemble, im chorischen Spiel und solistisch verwendet werden.
An wen richtet sich diese Blockflöte
Hieraus ergibt es sich, dass Blockflöten aus Ahorn sich besonders für ambitionierte Laien und fortgeschrittene SpielerInnen eignen. Eine weitere allgemeingültige Gesetzmäßigkeit ist, dass ein besseres Instrument das Lernen in den meisten Fällen angenehmer gestaltet, als ein gütemäßig minderwertiges.
Der Windkanal einer Blockflöte
Der Windkanal ist der Bereich im Instrumentenkopfstück, in dem die Atemluft zu einem Luftblatt geformt wird. Dieses Luftblatt ist das bestimmende Element der Tonerzeugung des Instruments.
Im Zusammenspiel mit dem Labium entsteht aus dem Luftblatt die den Flötenton grundlegend generierende Schwingung. Die Form des Windkanals ist damit
einer der prägenden Grundsätze
für die Beeinflußbarkeit der möglichen Klänge der Flöte. Der Windkanal des Instruments 4100-MOE von Moeck ist folgendermaßen gebaut: Gebogen, konisch.Konische Windkanäle beschleunigen das Luftblatt stärker, als zylindrisch geformte. Windkanäle sind in ihrer geometrischen Form komplex und viele Parameter beeinflussen sich gegenseitig.
Griffweise
Die Blockflöte Moeck 4100-MOE wird in der Griffweise gefertigt: Barock Doppelloch.
Bauweise
Die Anzahl der Bauteile eines Holzblasinstruments beeinflusst in vielfältiger Weise die Art mit der die Blockflöte im Gebrauch zum einen eine sinnvolle Handhabung in Bezug auf leichtes Zusammensetzen und zum anderen einen sicheren Transport gewährleisten kann. Das ist besonders beim Transportieren von größeren (und teilweise mehreren) Instrumenten ein nicht zu unterschätzender Punkt.
Erfahrene EnsemblespielerInnen können ihnen davon ein Lied singen.
Verpackung und Zubehör
Das Modell wird serienmäßig mit Kofferetui und dem passenden Zubehör geliefert: Wischerstange, Trockentuch, Zapfenfett, Pflegenleitung, Grifftabelle
Tipps zur Hygiene
Wird das Instrument öfters ausliehen, ist es ratsam zur Sicherung der hygienischen Unbedenklichkeit den Schnabelbereich immer wieder zu desinfizieren.
Als sicherer Helfer hat sich in diesen Fällen das Mittel Flautisept bewährt. Flautisept finden Sie in unserem Sortiment.
Es funktioniert mit folgenden Oberflächen:
Unbehandelte Holzoberflächen, Lackierte Oberflächen, RESONA, Lasierte Oberflächen, Gewachste Oberflächen, ABS Kunststoffen, Spiritusgebeizte Oberflächen, Leinöloberflächen
Testen Sie aber sicherheitshalber vor der Verwendung an einer unauffälligen Stelle, ob das Mittel auch an ihrer Blockflöte keine nachteiligen Veränderungen hinterlässt.
Optionale Information zu Klappen
Nicht immer können Tonlöcher an Stellen im Korpus gebohrt werden, die mit den Fingern leicht zu greifen sind. Besonders bei tiefen Instrumenten sitzen aus akustischen Gründen Tonlöcher ergonomisch unzureichend erreichbar. Bei diesen Instrumenten werden Klappen angebaut, die das Greifen wesentlich erleichtern, oder überhaupt erst möglich machen.
Das Instrument 4100-MOE verfügt über folgende Klappen: . Damit lässt es sich auch von Spielern mit kleineren Händen leicht gut spielen.
Empfehlungen zum Finden eines neuen Instruments
Wie finden Sie sicher ihr zukünftiges Instrument
Fragen Sie Bekannte!
Sie sollten sich aber in keinem Fall durch "allgemeingültige" Regeln vom eigenen Ausprobieren einer Blockflöte abhalten lassen.
Ihre musikalische Wahrnehmung ist so einzigartig wie Sie selbst. Daher können nur Sie selber entscheiden, welche Flöte sie persönlich zum "endlosen Musizieren" verleitet. Unsere Empfehlung lautet daher: Testen sie unterschiedliche Instrumente, die sie bisher noch nicht probiert haben.
Sie können ausschließlich gewinnen.
