{"id":1574,"count":1,"description":"Sopranino Recorders\r\nSopranino recorders are the second smallest recorders of the modern\u00a0recorder\u00a0family, and were the smallest before the 17th century.\r\n\r\nThis modern instrument has F5\u00a0as its lowest note, and its length is 20\u00a0cm. It is almost always made from soft European or tropical hardwoods, though sometimes it is also made of plastic.\r\n\r\nHistorically there were several sizes of recorder in this\u00a0register, named differently in different periods and in different languages. In his\u00a0<i>Syntagma Musicum<\/i>,\u00a0Michael Praetorius\u00a0describes this size of recorder, only a\u00a0whole tone\u00a0higher, with G5\u00a0as its lowest pitch. He calls it\u00a0<i>exilent<\/i>\u00a0(highest) in Latin, and\u00a0<i>kleine Fl\u00f6te<\/i>\u00a0(small flute),\u00a0<i>klein Fl\u00f6tlein<\/i>\u00a0(small little flute), or\u00a0<i>gar klein<\/i>\u00a0(really small) in German.\r\n\r\nAccording to Praetorius, it is the smallest of eight sizes of recorder in a complete \"<i>Accort<\/i>\u00a0oder Stimmwerk\" (set of all voices), and sounds a\u00a0<i>quintadecima<\/i>\u00a0(a fifteenth\u2014that is, two octaves) higher than a\u00a0cornett. Such a complete set includes a total of twenty-one instruments, including a pair of exilents, and two each of the two next larger sizes,\u00a0<i>Discantfl\u00f6ten<\/i>\u00a0in D5\u00a0and C5. However, Praetorius recommends restricting recorder ensembles to the five deepest sizes, because \"die kleinen gar zu starck und laut schreien\"\u2014\"the small ones scream so.\"\r\n\r\nThe sopranino in G is most probably the instrument\u00a0Claudio Monteverdi\u00a0calls for in\u00a0<i>L'Orfeo<\/i>\u00a0(1607), by the name\u00a0<i>flautino alla vigesima seconda<\/i>\u00a0(little flute at the third octave).\r\n\r\nIn 18th-century England, the sizes of recorder smaller than the treble in F (which was called simply \"flute\") were named according to their interval above it, and often were notated as transposing instruments. The descant (or soprano) on C was called a \"fifth flute\", the instrument a whole tone higher still was the \"sixth flute\" (on D), and what is known today as sopranino was the \"octave flute.\"\r\n\r\nInformation above courtesy of Wikipedia.","link":"https:\/\/trevorjonesltd.co.uk\/shop\/product-category\/instruments\/woodwind-instruments\/recorders\/sopranino-recorders\/","name":"Sopranino recorders","slug":"sopranino-recorders","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1538,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sopranino recorders - Trevor Jones Brass &amp;
