4304 Rottenburgh
Our Rottenburgh alto recorder made of boxwood (calycophyllum multiflorum, phyllostylon rhamnoides) for recorder players who want to make music with their instrument at an advanced level. Three-piece construction with rotatable foot joint. Baroque fingering with double holes.
Our Rottenburgh series has enjoyed great popularity since its introduction in the late 1960s due to its versatility.
Over the decades, the concept, which was originally developed by recorder maker Friedrich von Huene, has been continuously tested and optimised based on new developments in recorder construction. Modern and precise manufacturing methods and comprehensive craftsmanship are key to this special series, which advanced and professional players alike can rely on with confidence.
Rottenburgh recorders are ideal all-rounders: reliable, balanced and with a full tone. Depending on the type of wood, they produce a warm, fundamental tone in an ensemble and a bright, expressive sound as a solo instrument.
Hardness scale
Our wood hardness scale allows you to compare the hardness of the wood used for this instrument with the hardness of other woods in our range. The sound of a recorder is influenced by many material properties. The hardness of the wood is a suitable indicator of certain sound characteristics: softer woods (hardness level 1-2) tend to produce a warm and fundamental tone that blends well in an ensemble, while harder woods (hardness level 4-5) lead to a bright and resonant tone, ideal for solo playing. Those who play both, in ensembles and solo, will find suitable all-rounders in the medium-hard range (hardness level 3).
Hardness level 3 - medium-hard wood
The boxwood used for this instrument (calycophyllum multiflorum, phyllostylon rhamnoides) is from South America. It is hard, fine-pored and evenly dense. The wood produces a warm and rich sound. This type of wood is one of the medium-hard to hard woods in our range.
