Blezinger

Stephan Blezinger started his own workshop in 1988 and is now recognized as one of the finest recorder makers. All his instruments are based on historical models and are characterised by a sharply inverted conical bore and curved, narrow windways producing a full tone. His copy of an alto recorder after J Denner won the coveted German Musical Instrument award in 1996. The recorders are based on designs by Wyne, Bressan, Denner, Steenbergen and an Italian design of tenor recorder found in the Leipzig collection forms the basis of his tenor at a=415.
