Moeck 4205 Rottenburgh Soprano

A great-sounding recorder

I've played quite a few soprano recorders. This one and my Mollenhauer modern soprano, are my favorites. The most outstanding feature of this Moeck is the great Baroque recorder sound. It is easy to play, except one must get exactly the right thumb position in order to play high A. Also, this recorder is very attractive in appearance, and of very high quality for the reasonable price.

Very nice sound

The break in period took a bit longer than my other woods, but the sound is very good. It's a quite flexible instrument with a refined sound. I like the whole feeling while playing it.

The only drawback has to do with the appearance. After only few weeks the color of the beak around the windway started fading out.
