Soprano Recorder Hohner 9508VI Melody Line Soprano Plastic Violet German

The recorder is where most of us started in music. Ideal for elementary school students just starting music lessons, the Hohner 9508VI recorder is made in a single piece of durable plastic, violet color, completely safe for the little ones and easy to maintain, as it can be washed in cold water. Its C scale allows the learning of simple melodies while 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 at the time was made of wood. This flute has a fixed reed (beveled, hence its name) and eight holes that give the notes of the C natural scale. 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 recorder, both for the alto and the soprano versions. In addition to the natural notes of the scale, we can give sharps, covering only half of the hole corresponding to the note (as long as they are not E or B, of course).

Hohner is a German company founded in 1857 and one of the biggest references of musical instrument manufacturers in the world, having specialized in accordions, electromechanical keyboards and wind instruments such as harmonics. Any Hohner instrument is synonymous with German quality and precision.

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