Moeck RONDO 2300

The Rondo Range: An Ensemble Recorder with a Renewed Design

The Flauto Rondo stands out with a design intended for ensemble playing: stable sound production, a warm timbre, and homogeneity that give the player confidence in all musical situations. Its more elegant and delicate aesthetic also marks a true upgrade: it is far from a simple "school" instrument. This approach is based on innovative manufacturing techniques aimed at high precision and consistent playability that make a difference from the very first notes.

The Rondo family is also offered in a very wide range of sizes, from sopranino to contrabass in C (depending on the model), with a range structured around instruments meeting the expectations of more experienced recorder players.

For Which Musician and Styles?

This Flauto Rondo is aimed at advanced-level musicians or technically comfortable recorder players who wish to gain flexibility in playing and dynamic potential. It is particularly suitable for contexts where relative intonation, stability of sound production, and homogeneity are paramount: ensemble music, consort workshops, demanding pedagogical repertoire, early music, as well as arrangements and current repertoires performed in groups.

Its sound balance makes it relevant both in collective playing (where integration within the section is essential) and in personal practice, when seeking a responsive and consistent instrument to refine articulation, phrasing, and breath control.

Sound and Design

The Flauto Rondo emphasizes a warm timbre and reassuring stability, even when the air column is not perfectly controlled. The result: easier sound production, consistent response, and a sense of homogeneity across registers, highly appreciated in ensemble settings. The dynamic potential is also highlighted, allowing exploration of more nuanced and expressive playing.

Ergonomically, the hand feel is described as particularly pleasant and the fingering as comfortable. The new key system is announced as stable and reliable, with attention given to musicians with smaller hands to facilitate access to larger sizes. Finally, the presence of double holes (or double keys depending on versions) on models with baroque fingering aims for safer chromatic playing without having to "relearn" reflexes.
