Sordinella is the best universal mute for soprano recorder in the world, suitable for every type of soprano recorder used in schools. It is a clip produced in a special non-toxic material, that is applied to the flute at the edge of the window where the sound is generated. The intensity of the muting is adjusted moving Sordinella slightly up or down the window on the head of the soprano recorder.
Sordinella allows you to decrease the flow rate of the air that produces the sound and therefore reduces its intensity. However, reducing the intensity does not change the pitch of the instrument, but makes the melody only more delicate. In this way you can play the recorder - with a rather penetrating tone especially in the high notes - at home without disturbing the neighbors. Particularly in group lessons or small rooms, you will quickly appreciate the advantages that Sordinella offers: the sound reduction is of about 5 to 8 decibels! |
