"Bressan by Blezinger", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, 442 Hz, Brazilian boxwood stained
The instrument with the article number: 212BUD-BLE by Stephan Blezinger is a companion that provides tireless playing pleasure. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful combination of the unique model design with the expressive possibilities of the boxwood material used. This material makes a strikingly pleasant impression on the instrument thanks to its unique advantages. The special properties can be characterised as follows: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument 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 music can the recorder be used for? Boxwood is particularly suitable for instruments that specialise in baroque music, other styles are also possible. Who is this recorder aimed at? It follows from this that boxwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second basic rule worth noting is that a better quality instrument generally makes learning progress less complicated than a poor quality one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements in the sound production of a recorder. The vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade at the labium. The shape of the windway is therefore very relevant for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the recorder. The windway of the model 212BUD-BLE by Stephan Blezinger is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Stephan Blezinger 212BUD-BLE recorder is supplied with the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Multi-piece construction The construction of a recorder has a strong influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the appropriate accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the recorder is lent out frequently, it is advisable to sterilise the windway at regular intervals to keep it clean.

The instrument with the article number: 212GR-BLE from the Stephan Blezinger workshop is a recorder that is always a joy to play.

The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.

The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of a recorder's sound production.

The windway of the 212GR-BLE model by Stephan Blezinger is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrically shaped ones.
