Tenor Recorder in C-sharp 19th century

This 19th-century tenor recorder in C-sharp, attributed to Hieronimus Franciscus Kynseker, is a fine example of a musical instrument from the Baroque period. The recorder is crafted from wood and features a cylindrical bore with a conical bell, characteristic of the instruments of this era. Its simple design, with six finger holes and a thumb hole, allowed for the playing of a wide range of melodies. The recorder, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of instrument makers during the Baroque era.
