{"product_id":"moeck-alto-rottenburgh-4303-poirier-teinte-34168","title":"ROTTENBURGH 4303","description":"\u003ch3\u003eRottenburgh: a model inspired by the Baroque tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name \"Rottenburgh\" refers to a Baroque aesthetic that has become a true reference among recorder players: an instrument designed to combine \u003cstrong\u003ereliability\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebalance\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the spirit of historical instruments, this alto recorder emphasizes a clear response and a sound capable of filling the space, whether played in chamber formation or within a larger ensemble. The choice of \u003cstrong\u003estained pearwood\u003c\/strong\u003e also aligns with this pursuit of an expressive timbre, both stable and musical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which musician and repertoire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rottenburgh is an alto recorder particularly suited for \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a reliable, precise, and expressive instrument. It is very well suited to the \u003cstrong\u003eBaroque repertoire\u003c\/strong\u003e (sonatas, dances, chamber music), and performs comfortably in \u003cstrong\u003eensemble playing\u003c\/strong\u003e thanks to its sonic presence. As a solo instrument, it allows for nuanced and convincing interpretation, especially in \u003cstrong\u003esonatas with basso continuo\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the balance between articulation, tuning, and projection is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003ealto register\u003c\/strong\u003e, this recorder offers an ideal central tessitura for musical work: melodic lines, counter-melodies, and upper parts in ensembles. The \u003cstrong\u003estained pearwood\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a pleasant playing feel and a timbre that can vary from \u003cstrong\u003ewarm and fundamental\u003c\/strong\u003e in group settings to \u003cstrong\u003ebright and expressive\u003c\/strong\u003e in solo performance, depending on breath approach and articulation. The \u003cstrong\u003ebaroque fingering\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a fingering logic that is very widespread today, while the \u003cstrong\u003edouble holes\u003c\/strong\u003e improve tuning control and ease in certain passages, particularly for sensitive notes and semitones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjusted in workshop, it is \u003cstrong\u003ehomogeneous\u003c\/strong\u003e across registers and sufficiently \u003cstrong\u003ecarrying\u003c\/strong\u003e to remain audible in ensembles of various sizes. This stability makes it a reliable instrument for rehearsals, concerts, and daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis alto recorder comes with the essentials for routine maintenance. If you wish to complete your equipment, prioritize accessories explicitly labeled \"for alto recorder\" (maintenance and storage), to respect the diameter and length of the bore during cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
