Sigo tenor recorder for left-handers, baroque double hole, 442 Hz, Resona black
Product information "Sigo tenor recorder for left-handers, baroque double hole, 442 Hz, Resona black"
... away from "copy & paste" and towards "create".
While the recorder models that are played today are based on the ideas of historical instrument makers such as Rottenburgh, Denner, Kynseker, Bressan and others, sigo goes its own way.
Sigo is a recorder model series that was developed in collaboration between Kunath Instrumentenbau and Geri Bollinger, one of Europe's leading recorder makers.
The tenor instrument 5405-072-LI for left-handers has almost the same grip width as a soprano (descant) recorder. The angled headjoint and the thumb rest integrated into the mould make sigo particularly ergonomic.
The mirrored hole pattern makes it much more comfortable for left-handers to hold the instrument.
The body and head are made from RESONA, a material developed by Kunath Instrumentenbau from renewable raw materials.
As the sigo scale is folded, the instrument sounds just as deep, although it is shorter than a normal tenor flute.
The matt surface of the lower body and the thumb rest integrated into the mould make the instrument exceptionally comfortable to play.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, with a little manual dexterity and a pair of pliers, this is very easy.
Carefully remove the ring with the pliers, and if there is any adhesive residue left on the head, carefully sand it off so that the new rings fit well.
Don't worry, you can do it with a little manual dexterity.
Short answer: No!
Detailed answer: sigo doesn't need to be reheated because the body is made of RESONA.
This innovative material consists of plant fibres and the finest wood particles, but only swells by 0.1% compared to cherry wood.
This means that RESONA is not a dead material like conventional petroleum-based plastic, but remains pleasantly alive and dimensionally stable - so the block and windway remain permanently precise.
Nevertheless, playing in is an interactive and rather personal process:
Although the material does not need to be "acclimatised to moisture", you should consciously take the time to experiment more intensively with your sigo.
In doing so, you will learn how the instrument reacts to different blowing and embouchure techniques and discover new musical possibilities - for maximum playing enjoyment.
Your sigo recorder is made of RESONA. This material consists of 30% small pieces of wood, which are combined with modified plant starches. RESONA is therefore completely plant-based.
The warm wooden sound that characterises sigo recorders is created by the surface structure of the inner walls.
To achieve this unique sound quality, we have spent many years working on the material, the 3D printers and the manufacturing process.
And we keep on working. Every day! We promise. According to the motto: the better is the enemy of the good.
We have treated your sigo recorder with linseed oil so that your instrument sounds as good as possible. Just like handmade recorders.
This impregnation lasts a long time. So you don't have to "maintain" it as much as with a handmade recorder, as the "artificial pores" only have an "acoustic depth" and less oil can sink into them.
Of course, you can also treat Sigo with sweet almond oil if you like it better. The recorder tone doesn't care. Both sound good.
And if the surface becomes a little dull, you can simply make Sigo shine again with a few drops of oil.
Your sigo recorder is made of RESONA. This material swells only 0.1% compared to cherry wood. RESONA is therefore more dimensionally stable than all other woods used to make recorders.
As the block and windway of your sigo recorder are also made of RESONA, the block cannot "swell". You can therefore use sigo more than a recorder with a block made of cedar wood.
In addition, due to its wood-like surface, sigo also has fewer problems with droplet hoarseness than conventional plastic recorders.
No problem! The tenon on the lower body of the Sigo has a memory effect.
If you leave the sigo plugged together for a night, the tenon joint will become smoother.
You can repeat this process as often as you like until it is as easy as you want it to be.
