Schneider Primus F alto recorder without key – natural maple, baroque fingering, 3-piece (cover & fingering chart included)

The warm, woody sound of a real alto recorder – ideal for school and home music-making

With the Schneider Primus alto in F, you step into the expressive world of the alto recorder. The alto register in F sounds fuller and warmer than the small soprano recorder and is the classic choice for advanced lessons, ensemble playing and music at home. Crafted from natural maple, this instrument combines a pleasantly round tone with an effortless response.

Natural maple for a warm tone

The body is made of first-class, naturally finished maple and is lacquered – this protects the wood and gives an easy-care surface. Maple is the proven tonewood for recorders: it delivers a soft, carrying sound and responds cleanly even to a gentle breath, which is especially helpful for learners.

Baroque fingering for today's lessons

The recorder is built with baroque (English) fingering, the standard used in most music schools today. It therefore matches common teaching material seamlessly and makes semitones and chromatic runs easier. The three-piece construction allows fine tuning adjustments and comes apart easily for cleaning and storage after playing.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Warm alto tone: the F register sounds fuller and more mature than the soprano recorder.
• Quality tonewood: natural lacquered maple – easy to care for and carrying in tone.
• School standard: baroque fingering, compatible with common teaching methods.
• Ready to play: supplied with cleaning swab, fingering chart and case.
