                Baroque Alto 415 
                    The baroque altos are available in two versions.


Stanesby
copy
This instrument is based on a Stanesby Sr. Recorder in the Frans Bryggen collection with an original pitch of a=406 Hz. Besides the transposition to a = 415Hz,  I have made a very minor change of the bore in order to achieve a more convenient intonation of the high e and f.

Arvidsson original BA415
This instrument have a new type of bore, which I has developed with starting point in acoustic and mathematical ideas. My goal was to achieve a better egality in the sound and an attack over the complete range, note the Arvidsson bore, and I dare say that I succeeded in this attempt. As exterior I kept the Stanesby profile, which I highly estimate due to itīs powerful beauty.

The instruments can be delivered with double or single holes, and built in either boxwood or grenadilla.
