Product information "FEHR, "Model S", alto in f', baroque double hole, 415 Hz, after Stanesby, pearwood"
The instrument with the article number: 3S3BI415-FEH made by Fehr Blockflötenbau is an instrument that is always fun to play every day.
This characteristic is due to the well thought-out combination of the ingenious instrument model with the tone colours of the pear wood material used.
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.
For which musical styles can the instrument be best used?
Pearwood is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as solo instruments.Who is the instrument aimed at?
It follows from the above that pearwood instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another general rule is that in most cases, a high-quality instrument is easier to play than a supposedly cheap one.The windway of the 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 the determining element in the sound production of the instrument. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the musical expressiveness of the recorder.
The windway of the model 3S3BI415-FEH from Fehr Blockflötenbau is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones.
Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Fehr recorder model 3S3BI415-FEH is offered in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument influences in many ways the way in which the recorder is used, on the one hand making it easy to assemble and on the other hand enabling compact transport.
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 matching accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chartHygiene tips
If the recorder is played by several people, it is advisable to clean the windway sterilely at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases. Flautisept has proven to be a reliable aid here. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:- Lacquered surfaces
- Untreated wooden surfaces
- ABS plastics
- Waxed surfaces
- RESONA
- Linseed oil surfaces
- Glazed surfaces
- Spirit-stained surfaces
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place the tone holes in places that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on deep recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.The 3S3BI415-FEH instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easier than average for players with smaller hands to play.
