| Ergonomic/"Comfort" Recorders
|
For pllayers with small or stiff hands, we offer a number of possibilities to bring tenors and even altos into easy reach. In addition to the standard selection of tenors with and without keys for low C/C#, we also have altos with keys for low F/F#, and tenors with additional keys on the center joint. There are also tenors with bent necks, which brings the hands higher as well.
Or, if you have an instrument already that you otherwise like but have difficulty reaching, we can retrofit additional keys to make the stretch easier. We typically add keys to holes 3 and/or 4 on the center joint, just like many bass recorders have, which reduces the hand stretch by bringing the first and last fingers of the hand closer together. It even works on plastic recorders!
While we can't add keys to the foot joints of all recorders, we can send Moeck foot joints back to the manufacturer to have keys added. They'll only do it on Moeck instruments and it takes a few weeks, but it's another possibility. Just call and ask!
Of course, everyone's hands are a little different, so different solutions work for different people. Give us a call and let us help you find the solution that's right for you!
