Moeck, "Flauto Rondo", bent tenor plus in c', baroque double hole, with double key and middle joint K

The instrument with the model number: 2941-MOE from Moeck is a recorder that is always fun to play.
This special feature is largely due to the masterful composition of this outstanding model in combination with the advantages of the maple material used.

The special sound characteristics of this instrument make it a pleasantly inspiring material. The characteristics can best be described in the following words: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear wood.

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 scale.

Which musical styles are best suited to the recorder

Maple is particularly suitable for recorders that focus on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.

Who is the instrument aimed at?

The above facts show that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another generally applicable rule is that a higher-quality instrument naturally makes playing together less complicated than a seemingly inexpensive offering.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of a recorder's sound production. At the labium, the air blade produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore very important for the musical formability of the achievable sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the Moeck 2941-MOE recorder is constructed as follows: Curved, cylindrical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.

Fingering

The Moeck 2941-MOE model is offered in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.

Multi-piece construction

The construction of a recorder has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled easily in terms of ease of grip and 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 recorder is supplied as standard with a bag and matching accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart

Hygiene tips

If the instrument is played by several people, you should consider regularly disinfecting the headjoint to ensure that it is hygienically safe.

Optional information on keys

It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places that are comfortable and easy to play with your fingers. Especially on larger instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 2941-MOE instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This means that it can also be played by players with smaller hands.
