Standard (Baroque) Descants (soprano)Three part unless otherwise noted. | ||||
| Descants - First Group. Suitable for Beginners
The 'school' recorder. The much maligned instrument that comes to everyone's mind when the recorder is mentioned. These are cheap and cheerful. Many others are instruments of musical torture. The Aulos 'Robin' is far better than you would ever expect from the price. | ||||
| Aulos | 205A |
Brown/white plastic. 'Robin' (yellow bag) |
descant | £13.95 exVAT £11.63 In Stock |
| Descants - Second Group. Suggested for Improvers.
These models are a step or two above the cheapest and can be good value. If you are a complete beginner I do not think it would be wise to buy from the next more expensive group. Learn to play confidently first. | ||||
| Aulos | 503B | Brown/white plastic. 'Symphony' |
descant | £22.95 exVAT £19.13 In Stock |
| Aulos | 703BW | Rosewood finish plastic. 'Haka' |

| Moeck | MOE2200 |
Maple wood. 'Rondo' Two part. |

| Moeck | MOE2201 |
Maple (stained). 'Rondo' Two part. |
descant | £92.95 exVAT £77.46 In Stock. |
| Descants - Third Group. Suitable for Serious Players.
These are 'best' quality models. The 'very best' quality is the preserve of individual craftsmen. If you are playing a lot... say hours a week rather than minutes a day, avoid maple and pear wood... and olive as well, you will wear the instrument out in ways that cannot be repaired. | ||||
| Kung | KNG2301 | Pear wood. 'Superio' Two part. |
descant | £179.95 exVAT £149.96 In Stock |
| Kobliczek | KOB554 | Palisander. 'Meister' (Sharper than other makes.) |

| Moeck | MOE8250 | Plum wood. 'Kynsecker' | descant | £345.95 exVAT £288.29 In Stock |
Standard (Baroque) Trebles (alto) | ||||
| Trebles - First Group. Suitable for Beginners.
All recorder players interested in classical baroque music should play the treble (alto) recorder. It is the solo recorder. Do not be put off by the change in fingering from the descant (soprano). Start with one from this group. My comments about descants and choice apply equally to trebles. | ||||
| Aulos | 209B |
Brown/white plastic. 'Robin' |
treble | £20.95 exVAT £17.46 In Stock |

| Yamaha | YRA61 | Boxwood. 'Yamaha' |
treble | £269.99 exVAT £224.99 In Stock |
| Trebles - Third Group. More suitable for Solo Players.
The plastic models provide an interesting alternative to expensive wooden recorders for advanced and improving players. Their more individual tone quality, which favours the higher notes may not appeal to a novice. | ||||

treble | £41.25 exVAT £34.38 In Stock |
