Eagle and Dream recorders

Nearly all instruments we play are made, designed and/or adapted by Adriana Breukink.
Over the centuries many different recorder sounds have been in fashion. During the Renaissance the internal bore of the recorder was wide giving a round sound with rich lower tones. In the Baroque period the recorder developed into a narrow and strongly conical tapered model. This created a silvery sound and a brilliant virtuoso high register. After the Baroque period many beautiful recorders were designed, but in the long term they could not capture the increasingly loud, romantic and fast chromatic modern sounds. This required recorders to be louder and a sound with strong fundamentals.
Ever since she began making recorders, Adriana has been working to develop a better balance within the recorder sound. The Dream and Eagle recorders are the result of this quest. The wider bore gives a strong low register and through the use of a modern key system and a metal labium, these recorders have a larger range and more dynamic possibilities . Due to the strong, direct and pure sound, it blends easily with all modern orchestra instruments.
The instruments we play are Eagle soprano and alto, Eagle Ganassi soprano and alto, Dreamtenor, Dreambass, and C/F sub basses developed by Küng, with a head joint handmade by Adriana and with a metal labium.
