Moeck Soprano Recorder. Rottenburgh style/shape. Made from pearwood. I played it when I first got it but I haven't used it for the last five or so years since buying a louder folk music session model. It has been stored in its case since then. I cannot find any marks on the instrument except for a tiny amount of wear on the thumbhole, and didn't find that until I used a 5x magnifying glass! The joints are both unmarked and air tight. The case is pretty pritstine. The only thing that shows any wear is the paper instructions in the inside the lid of the case. Very easy to play, it is a very forgiving recorder. Excellent beginner or improver instrument. Why buy a new one when you can buy this excellent item for half the average new price?
