Some people prefer pearwood because it feels better in the hand, but the sound is the same as maplewood. With that price, I would probably go for the maple as well.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-91070640264834390022011-12-20T00:16:09.306-05:002011-12-20T00:16:09.306-05:00i must say, i love the mollenhauers. they just loo...i must say, i love the mollenhauers. they just look so beautiful, and they seem to have a special tonal quality i think i would love too. however, magnamusic has a sale on their moeck school model maple sopranos(MK124/1240): $33.76!dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-65113315612189882402011-12-19T23:49:07.145-05:002011-12-19T23:49:07.145-05:00thanks so much, eva! and i'm glad you got to t...thanks so much, eva! and i'm glad you got to the post office!dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-80039083854346462382011-12-19T13:53:59.669-05:002011-12-19T13:53:59.669-05:00Here is another store, even in NY: Courtly Music. ...Here is another store, even in NY: <a href="http://courtlymusicunlimited.com/mollenhauer.php" rel="nofollow">Courtly Music</a>. They sell both brands. Then there is <a href="http://www.magnamusic.com/RCintroduction.asp" rel="nofollow">Magnamusic</a> in CT. I've ordered accessories from them before.<br /><br />We use the "Student" model from Mollenhauer. You can get it in dark or light. The light model can be seen <a href="http://www.mollenhauer.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=110&category_id=129&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=132&lang=en" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

The Baroque style lets you play the low c sharp, which cannot be played with the German fingering. The baroque recorder has one whole more. My children all have the German style fingering recorder. I prefer Mollenhauer over Moeck. Pearwood is a good choice. It's important to get the same brand, though, when you order several recorders. Normally Moeck recorders are a little bit higher than the Mollenhauer for the same note. I will take a look at the two companies again to give you more specific suggestions and to tell you the exact model numbers we have. Jonathan uses my uncle's Mollenhauer recorder and I use my Mollenhauer recorder I received more than 30 years ago. Must be good quality!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-33033384122900046222011-12-19T01:03:40.119-05:002011-12-19T01:03:40.119-05:00there seems to be a few different styles of each b...there seems to be a few different styles of each brand of recorder. do you know which ones you have?<br />there's a man in california with a business called "lazar's early music," who sells them. let me know if you hear of anyone else.<br /><br />do you find that you prefer one brand over the other?dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-81448907026540731302011-12-18T23:00:20.932-05:002011-12-18T23:00:20.932-05:00You know, I get my recorders in Germany.

I like Mollenhauer and Moeck recorders. Maybe I can find out where you can buy those here.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-66661776848726341882011-12-17T01:01:37.135-05:002011-12-17T01:01:37.135-05:00both versions are beautiful. i enjoy hearing them....both versions are beautiful. i enjoy hearing them. all of you are having such fun! it's a wonderful holiday time at your home. thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />where did you get your recorders? i'd like to get some for m and c. we have lovely pentatonic ones, but it would be nice for the diatonic.dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
