The instrument with the article number: 8621-MOE from the Moeck workshop is a companion that is always a joy to play in daily use. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the masterful combination of the pioneering design with the sound characteristics of the maple material used. The special qualities of the material used for this instrument are strikingly pleasing. The properties can be characterised in this way, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of recorders, which is typical of the material, is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear wood. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical and wider on average. 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. What music can the recorder be used for? Maple is excellently suited for recorders focussing on Renaissance and folk music, other styles are possible. Who is the instrument aimed at? It follows from this that maple recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. An additional important basic rule is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes learning more enriching than what at first glance appears to be an inexpensive offer. 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 of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the variability of the recorder's musical expression. The windway of the Moeck 8621-MOE instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Moeck 8621-MOE recorder is supplied in the following fingering: Renaissance fingering. Construction of the body The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument has a strong influence on the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and safe transport on the other. 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 instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart Hygiene tips If the recorder is borrowed frequently, it is advisable to clean the blowing area sterilely at regular intervals for your own protection. Flautisept has proven effective for this purpose. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Spirit-stained surfacesRESONAGlazed surfacesWaxed surfacesABS plasticsLacquered surfacesLinseed oil surfacesUntreated wood surfaces To be on the safe side, test on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that the product does not cause any adverse changes to your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the instrument body that are comfortable to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass instruments 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 8621-MOE instrument has the following keys: 1-fold foot key. This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands. Recommendations for finding a new recorder How to find a new instrument safely Seek expert advice!

The recorder with the article number: 8721-MOE made by Moeck is a recorder that is fun to play every day. This characteristic is largely due to the skilful marriage of the outstanding instrument model in combination with the qualities of the maple material used. The special qualities of the material used for this instrument are remarkably pleasing. The special characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, each person will perceive and describe the details of the typical material sound of recorders slightly differently: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear wood. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical and wider on average. 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 scale. What music can the recorder be used for Maple is excellently suited for instruments focussing on Renaissance and folk music, other styles are possible. Who is this instrument aimed at This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule worth noting is that a better instrument naturally makes learning progress more enriching than a supposedly cheaper one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of a recorder's sound production. In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the main characteristics for the response and sound of the recorder. The windway of the 8721-MOE instrument from Moeck is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters play together. Fingering The Moeck 8721-MOE model is made in the fingering: Renaissance fingering. Multiple parts The way in which a recorder is constructed has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled in terms of ease of assembly and compact transport. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments have to be transported. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart Hygiene tips If the recorder is played by several people, we recommend that you sterilise the beak area at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases.
