Soprano Recorder in B 1680 - 1720

This soprano recorder in B flat, crafted by Dutch maker Thomas Coenraet Boekhout between 1680 and 1720, demonstrates the refined craftsmanship of early 18th-century musical instrument making. The ebony wood body with ivory accents, visible in the mouthpiece and foot joint, was a common material combination of the period. This recorder is a fine example of the Baroque era's penchant for elegant and functional design, showcasing the skill of its maker in creating a delicate yet durable musical instrument.
