Moeck #4424 Tenor Recorder, Boxwood "Rottenburgh" Copy for sale in Wichita, KS
WICHITA BAND INSTRUMENT COMPANY 2525 East Douglas Avenue Wichita, KS 67211 **** NEW FRESH SHIPMENT JUST ARRIVED FROM MOECK, READY TO SHIP TO YOU TODAY! NEW MOECK "ROTTENBURGH" TENOR RECORDER, BOXWOOD MODEL 4424 Moeck "Rottenburgh" recorders were originally designed by Boston flute-maker Friederich von Huene after instruments made by the Dutch master Jean Joseph Rottenburgh (1672-1765). The workmanship is generally quite good, but we do polish bores and check each recorder for intonation before it leaves our Wichita workshop. The tuning is excellent over the entire range of the instrument and we find there to be little wonder that the Moeck Rottenburgh is by far the most popular make of any recorder sold by us. And yes, we've sold them since the late 1960's. Top recommendation on these superb German recorders. Questions about recorders? Write me! I've played alto recorder and baroque flute for more than five decades and can give you advice about almost anything. I played recorder and flute with the "Oakland Avenue Baroque Ensemble" for more than a decade, performed every trio-sonata known to mankind. Or so it seemed. Not a pro-group, of course....enthusiastic amateurs! *** BEFORE WE SEND ANYTHING TO YOU... The instrument is carefully inspected by us to make certain it's spotlessly clean. We disinfect the exterior of the instrument, spray the exterior of the case as well. We do not send anything to you without it's being checked and then checked again. *** A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR SENDING "ON APPROVAL"... We've had the same policy for half a century, are always happy to send almost anything for a short trial period. Five days is, we believe, sufficient for a trained musician to decide if the item sent them is a good match. A small percentage of instrument we send out are returned to us. Sometimes it's a money issue, more often it's "...you might consider taking lessons." But as we always say, "If you don't buy, we'll still be friends. " We've had recent questions, though, about how we clean up returned approvals. You should know... With recorders, clarinets, flutes, and oboes, we remove all the keywork, then give the bodies a quick bath. Soap and water, but not long enough to harm the finish. Keys are lightly sprayed with a disinfectant and pads are lightly swabbed with the same. Then, back in the case after a spray to the exterior and carrying handles of the case. Not sure what the other shops are doing about this issue (I've asked and have had no replies), but we think our clean-up work is exactly what's required to keep everybody safe.*** Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA.
