This
tenor recorder is distinguished by a brilliant
high register (can be played to G''', giving a range of two-and-a-half
octaves), but it still has a wonderful depth: strong and with a full
sound, even on the bottom notes. Thanks to its large range and rich
sound, it can even play select flute literature. Their rich, full sound and dynamic playing makes SUPERIO recorders a
popular choice, in particular among professional musicians and soloists.
The curved windway carefully and precisely carved by master craftsmen
produces a distinctive sound.
The Bass, Greatbass, and Subbass recorders have the most sonorous,
round, and clear sound. In addition to use in professional soloist
playing, they are extremely popular in ensembles. In spite of their
dimensions, the large recorders can be played comfortably while sitting
or standing. Their agility in the high and low registers alike is
remarkable.Here is a sample link of this model being played...
