Moeck Rottenburgh alto recorder

Moeck Rottenburgh alto recorder

Moeck alto recorders are made in a range of different woods. The design of the Rottenburgh series is developed by Friedrich von Huene and based on original instruments made by Jean-Hyacinth-Joseph Rottenburgh. The Rottenburgh series covers the entire range of recorders from sopranino to bass and is widely renowned for their superior quality. 

All recorders are delivered with a hard case, cork grease, and a cleaning rod. The maple and pearwood recorders are treated with paraffin and require less treatment. The rest of the recorders are delivered with a maintenance kit, which includes oil, anti-condensation, and various brushes.
