Ehlert
The modern and unmistakable recorders by Ralf Ehlert (Celle, born 1960). Our Ehlert model series is characterised by its strong assertiveness and stability.
The concept behind these modern recorders is aimed at skilled players and is based on Baroque models by Hotteterre and Bressan and long-scale recorders from Germany around 1930. Ralf Ehlert combined the best features of these models and developed an extremely powerful instrument with a wide conical bore, which has strong dynamics and a large tone range over two and a half octaves. The instruments work with the baroque fingering commonly used today, so there is no need to ‘move away’ from established fingerings. Only the highest notes require additional fingerings. The notes C sharp 4 (soprano), F sharp 3 (alto) and C sharp 3 (tenor) can be played comfortably without the annoying covering of the bore.
Thanks to their assertive tone and volume, Ehlert models hold their own when playing alongside strings, wind instruments and key instruments. Despite their power and versatility, they retain their characteristic recorder sound and are therefore ideal for recorder music from all eras and styles.
