2446 Canta Tenor Recorder : Loveley tone especially at the bottom of the range

12 years ago

I needed a new instrument because my old Rossetti (bought in 1963 for about £15) had reached the end of its useful life, especially since severe cracks appeared in the head joint after a mishap. I was looking for good sound quality, especially at the bottom end, and I believe that I have found it in this instrument, which (after 3 weeks) is now almost broken in.

Sound quality is excellent throughout the range, although it took some time to master the keys for C and C#. The balance is very good, especially with the thumb rest. The instrument is very well made.
