What is a Treble (Alto) Recorder?
Treble recorders—also known as ‘Alto’ recorders—are pitched a fifth lower than descant (soprano) recorders and play in the f′ – g‴ register. Their mellower, more resonant tone makes them a natural next step for students who have mastered the descant, and they are a central voice in recorder ensembles.
With slightly wider finger spacing and a rich tonal palette, the treble recorder allows players to explore deeper repertoire and harmonies. The Aulos 709BW Haka, with its Baroque (English) fingering, ensures a smooth and familiar transition for advancing players.
