"Bressan by Blezinger", tenor in c', baroque double hole, 442 Hz, bras. stained boxwood
The recorder with the article number: 412BUD-BLE made by Stephan Blezinger is a recorder that is a joy to play both in the classroom and on stage. The instrument owes this special feature mainly to the skilful combination of the above-average design with the tone colours of the boxwood used. The material used for this instrument is characterised by its typical sound characteristics. The special features 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 is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound,. The scale The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound. In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower inner bore. Which musical styles can the instrument be used for Boxwood is particularly suitable for instruments focussing on baroque music, other styles are possible. Who is the instrument aimed at? This means that boxwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A rule of thumb is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes learning more enriching than a seemingly inexpensive offering. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the defining element of a recorder's sound. In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely influential for the artistic usability of the recorder. The windway of Stephan Blezinger's 412BUD-BLE instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their design and many parameters interact. Fingering The instrument Stephan Blezinger 412BUD-BLE is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction method The number of parts in a musical instrument has a strong influence on the way in which the recorder is handled during daily use, both in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport. This is 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 model is supplied as standard with a case and matching accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the recorder is played by several people, we recommend that you sterilise the windway at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases. The product Flautisept has proven to be effective for this purpose. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Waxed surfacesRESONAGlazed surfacesUntreated wood surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesLacquered surfacesLinseed oil surfacesABS plastics However, before using Fautisept, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not leave any unwanted traces on your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to place tone holes in places on the instrument that are easy to play with your fingers. Especially on bass recorders, 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 412BUD-BLE instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands.
