MOECK Renaissance tenor recorder 8430, 440 Hz, baroque fingering, with key and fontanel maple wood dark stained, with single-holes, contents: case, cleaning rod and cloth, cork grease, certificate with manual for maintenance, fingering chart and maintenance kit. Reconstructions of the instruments from the Hofburg Museum in Vienna. The fingerings of the Renaissance recorders are different to the English or baroque fingerings. Moeck advise to opt for the original fingerings but they also sell instruments with baroque fingerings. Moreover if desired, they tune the instruments to mean-tone temperament which, when using the original fingerings will make ensemble playing and the intonation of pure major thirds far easier. The instruments have a range of an octave plus a sixth. The basic tuning is 440 Hz (other than the original tuning at ca. 460 Hz) which can be slightly adjusted by the short metal ring that links the tenons. When tuning the instruments, the manufacturer take special care that the individual recorders blend well together and cannot be singled out by their sound or volume.
