The Moeck 2200 Flauto Rondo Soprano Recorder Natural has a balanced tone in all registers, which can be achieved without perfect breathing technique and which blends in well in ensemble playing. The wood of choice is Maple and this instrument features German double hole fingering.
The delicate and elegant new design alone indicates that the Rondo is more than an instrument for beginners. It is designed for players who have gained some experience and require a more flexible tone and increased dynamic potential. The Rondo is comfortable to hold and allows for easy fingering.
This Rondo is made as is typical for ensemble recorders, thus producing a steady warm and homogenic sound. New innovative completion techniques give it unparalleled precision.
Just looking at the new key system tells you that it is robust and reliable. Moeck have made sure that you can play the larger recorders even with small hands. Fingering is the same as with double holes so no rethinking is needed.
The Flauto Rondo is a balanced instrument for more advanced players. All recorders with baroque fingering now have double holes and keys – a guarantee for perfectly pitched chromatic playing.
The main features of the Moeck 2200 Flauto Rondo Soprano Recorder Natural include:
Excellent sound and all the benefits of wood. One thing which has taken a bit of getting used to is the size - the bottom hole is a bit closer to the next than I'm used to. But I guess that makes it more suitable for an enthusiastic child player with little hands. Low notes are very stable, you have to try quite hard to make them break. One very nice touch is the case, not the usual cloth or plastic cylinder but a well made canvas roll.
