The Aulos Garklein 501-S Sopranino is one of those instruments that surprises with its scale, sound, and ease of use. Perfect for demanding musicians who want a present sound, whatever the occasion.

At just 16.5 cm long, this is the smallest Aulos recorder. And, despite its size, it offers a clear, bright, and agile voice. Tuned in C, an octave above soprano, the Aulos Garklein 501-S reveals a vibrant expressiveness that responds easily to the breath of those seeking to explore the higher registers of the recorder family.

Constructed of highly durable ABS resin, this recorder ensures a quick response and consistent tuning, even in intensive use. The compact and lightweight body makes it comfortable to handle, facilitating quick articulation and precision in the most demanding passages. The English fingering offers familiarity to those already familiar with other recorders, allowing for immediate adaptation to the instrument.

The sopranino recorder is not merely an acoustic curiosity. Although often associated with decorative solo pieces or special sound effects, it can be used to perform a large portion of the repertoire written for soprano recorder, adapting well to pedagogical use and to explore timbral patterns in recorder ensembles. Its timbre is incisive and crystalline, with a natural brilliance that easily cuts through the most dense arrangements.

The 501-S model includes a leather bag that protects the instrument during transport and storage, adding a touch of practical sophistication to the ensemble. This recorder is a perfect fit for advanced or professional musicians seeking tonal variety and a more agile alternative to certain high registers.
