Collection: Bass Recorders

Orpheus Music offers  Bass recorders, great basses, contra and subcontra basses, including Baroque and Renaissance models. Bass recorders are made from pear and cherrywood.  Orpheus Music stocks bass recorders from Mollenhauer Recorders from Germany, Kung Recorders from Switzerland, Aulos, Yamaha and Zen-on Recorders from Japan. The bass recorder is traditionally the bass part in an ensemble or consort of recorder players but now has many new compositions written for it. The bass recorder comes in plastic as well as wood in a straight neck form as well as a bent neck form. The traditional bass recorder is in F but there are larger and deeper basses including a great bass recorder in C, a contra bass in F (an octave below the first bass recorder).
