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) comes from South America. It is hard, fine-grained, and uniformly 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.
