The vendor has authorised the following statement:-
'This pretty recorder has a sweet sound and is in excellent condition. It was a top of the range model when it was purchased (from Saunders Recorders) in 1977 and has been carefully played and well cared for since. The key was fitted later by an instrument maker in Manchester. It is highly unusual but works well.'

The vendor has authorised the following statement:-
'This hand made bass recorder has a very attractive grain and is believed to be made of maple wood. A search of the Dolmetsch records would provide more information.
'This model plays all the normal recorder compass (except low F#) despite having no body keys. A white metal thumb rest and 'eye' for a sling have been fitted. The recorder is generally in very good condition but the key's pad, although effective, is in need of replacement.'
Please contact  for more details.
