Soprano Recorder Hohner 9555 Wood German

This Hohner 9555 flute is made of wood, with two pieces. It is a model with German typing. 

Also known as recorder, the recorder is a wind instrument, which was very popular in the Middle Ages, particularly in Central Europe and, at the time, was made of wood. This flute has a fixed reed (cut into a bevel, hence its name) and eight holes that give the notes of the natural scale of C. It is a simple melodic instrument, which was widely used as a solo instrument.

The composer who dedicated the most pieces to him was Vivaldi, who composed many concerts for recorder, both for the contralto version and for the soprano. In addition to the natural notes of the scale, we can give the sharps, covering only half the hole corresponding to the note (provided they are not Mi or Si, of course).

A curiosity: this flute is designated in English as recorder (recorder), which leads to some strange translations at least advised.

Hohner is a German company founded in 1857 and one of the largest references of musical instrument manufacturers in the world, specializing in accordions, electromechanical keyboards and wind instruments as harmonics. Any Hohner instrument is synonymous with German quality and precision.

The Hohner 9555 recorder is a suitable instrument for musical learning, at a very affordable price.
