Hohner - Recorders.
Since 1857, HOHNER has been crafting the highest quality musical instruments in the World. We make harmonicas, accordions, melodicas, recorders, guitars and ukuleles to name a few. The German Harmonica and Accordion Museum in Trossingen, which houses the famous HOHNER collection, is quite simply unique and tells the HOHNER history like no one else.
Learning an instrument isn’t just fun, it also opens a variety of possibilities to express ourselves. Often, the recorder is the instrument of choice for beginners – for several reasons: on the one hand, it is incredibly easy to learn, on the other hand it helps to quickly learn the basics of rhythm, intonation and interaction.
Recorder-like instruments have existed for ages. However, the recorder as we know it today has been around since the 14th century. Generally, they are made from wood, promising a warm, clear sound.
For hygienic reasons, plastic has been established as a favored material especially for beginner’s instruments, as well. But ultimately, it’s a question of personal preference whether you play wood or plastic.
