Herwiga Hamlin Soprano, 1934-1941, with original stamped postal tube - Pre-owned

Herwiga Hamlin Soprano

Two - piece soprano recorder with single holes. These recorders date from after 1934, when Edgar Hunt began importing recorders from the Markneukirchen firm Herwig, made by König & Söhnen. They represent some of the earliest 20th century wooden recorders for English mass market.

This recorder has some teeth marks on the beak, some uneveness on the labium edge and has had small sympathatic voicing to recreate the original sound where possible. The recorder has a warm and full sound. 

For added interest the recorder is supplied with the original stamped postage tube sent from Haslemere dated 1941.
