5211 Soprano Recorders Based on a Model by Jan Steenbergen
Baroque timbre - brilliant high notes! Our Steenbergen soprano recorder after an original from the Frans Brüggen collection. Made from pear wood in Baroque fingering and tuned to pitch a1 = 442 Hz. With double holes and tenon joints with silk thread winding. The expressive soprano recorder for the discerning player!
Our Steenbergen soprano recorders are based on an original instrument by Jan Steenbergen (Amsterdam, 1675–1728) from Frans Brüggen's legendary recorder collection.
The instruments are characterised by their cantability, a typically Baroque, bright, warm sound and their brilliant high register. They are particularly suitable for solo playing and Baroque literature.
The choice between high and low pitch (A1 = 442 Hz or 415 Hz) and a selection of three different types of wood – pear wood, boxwood and grenadilla – open up numerous musical possibilities. Meticulously crafted, beautifully designed and supplied with a fine leather case and high-quality care products.
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 1 - soft wood
The pear wood (pyrus communis) used for this instrument is from Europe. It is firm, evenly dense and has a fine structure. The wood produces a warm, fundamental sound. This type of wood is one of the softer woods in our range.
