Soprano Recorder Hohner 9508LB Melody Line Soprano Light Blue German

The Hohner 9508LB Melody Line soprano recorder is a very simple, plastic, one-piec e flute, built to provide comfort and safety, thinking of children from 6 years of age, who are starting their musical training. This 9508LG model is light blue in color.

The recorder is where most of us started in music. Ideal for elementary school students who are starting music lessons, the Hohner 9508LB recorder is made in a single piece of resistant plastic, completely safe for the little ones and easy to maintain, as it can be washed in cold water. Being in the C scale, it allows the easy learning of simple melodies while the little musicians develop their knowledge of solfeggio.

The recorder is a wind instrument that was very popular in the Middle Ages, particularly in Central Europe, and was made of wood at the time. This recorder has a fixed reed (cut in a bevel) and eight holes that give the notes of the natural scale of C. It is a simple melodic instrument, which was often used as a solo instrument.

The composer who dedicated the most pieces to him was Vivaldi, who composed many concertos for the recorder, both for the alto and soprano versions. In addition to the natural notes of the scale, we can give the sharps, covering only half of the hole corresponding to the note (provided they are not E or B, of course).

A curiosity: this flute is designated in the English language as a recorder, which leads to some strange translations by the least aware.

Hohner is a German company founded in 1857 and one of the world's leading musical instrument manufacturers, specializing in accordions, electromechanical keyboards and wind instruments such as harmonicas. Any Hohner instrument is synonymous with German quality and precision.

The Hohner 9508LB recorder is the perfect instrument for kids to start their musical learning, at a more than affordable price.
