Hotteterre
Three instruments served as models for our Hotteterre tenor: one from the Brüggen collection and two others from the Musée de la Musique in Paris.
Our Hotteterre combines the best features of these three historical recorders. Thanks to its long scale length, our Hotteterre tenor not only has tremendous power in the lower register. Stability and steadiness in all registers and an unmistakably voluminous, fundamental tone and charismatic warmth characterise this first-class instrument. With its captivating timbre and a range of over two and a half octaves, our Hotteterre is made for solo playing.
The key set, which is obligatory due to the long scale length, is based on a concept that easily meets today's technical and functional requirements while maintaining the better its historical form. Its elegant, filigree yet robust construction guarantees reliable and virtually silent covering of the tone holes, even during fast passages.
Made from selected boxwood (Calycophyllum multiflores) with a natural finish or historically inspired stain, our Hotteterre combines acoustic qualities with masterful craftsmanship and understated elegance. Tuned to A1 = 442 Hz or A1 = 415 Hz, there are two tuning pitches to choose from. For those for whom only the best is good enough.
