Moeck Rottenberg Alto Maple Stained Recorder
4301 Rottenburgh
The Rottenburgh alto recorder made of stained maple wood for recorder players who want to make music with their instrument at an advanced level. Built in three parts with a turnable foot joint. Baroque fingering with double holes.
Over the decades, the concept, which was originally developed by recorder maker Friedrich von Huene, has been continuously tested and optimised based on new developments in recorder construction. Modern and precise manufacturing methods and comprehensive craftsmanship are key to this special series, which advanced and professional players alike can rely on with confidence.
Rottenburgh recorders are ideal all-rounders: reliable, balanced and with a full tone. Depending on the type of wood, they produce a warm, fundamental tone in an ensemble and a bright, expressive sound as a solo instrument.
Hardness scale
Moeck wood hardness scale allows you to compare the hardness of the wood used for this instrument with the hardness of other woods in our range. The sound of a recorder is influenced by many material properties. The hardness of the wood is a suitable indicator of certain sound characteristics: softer woods (hardness level 1-2) tend to produce a warm and fundamental tone that blends well in an ensemble, while harder woods (hardness level 4-5) lead to a bright and resonant tone, ideal for solo playing. Those who play both, in ensembles and solo, will find suitable all-rounders in the medium-hard range (hardness level 3).
Hardness level 1 - soft wood
The maple wood (acer pseudoplatanus) used for this instrument comes from Europe. The wood is stained dark, but has the same properties as maple wood with a natural appearance. It is strong, fine-pored and flexible, and produces a warm, fundamental sound. This type of wood is one of the softer woods in our range.
