AN INGENIOUS AND VERY SIMPLE SYSTEM FOR ATTENUATING THE VOLUME OF THE SOPRANO RECORDER WITHOUT ALTERING ITS INTONATION.

Sordinella is a completely non-toxic plastic clip that is applied to the flute at the edge of the opening where the sound is generated. Sordinella makes it possible to reduce the air flow rate that produces the sound by reducing the intensity without changing the intonation, making the melody more delicate. In this way you can play the soprano recorder, which has a rather penetrating timbre, especially in the high notes, even at home without disturbing your family and neighbours, and at school: a music class will no longer disturb the neighbouring classrooms, the reduction in sound is in fact about 5-8 decibels!

THE LAUNCH OF SORDINELLA, THE FIRST RECORDER MUTE, INDUSTRIALLY MANUFACTURED ENTIRELY IN ITALY

Born from a wise idea of the music professor Renato Montemurro, Sordinella arouses from the beginning many reactions that stem also from the promotional campaign created by the manufacturer, Bonini Srl, and followed by an organized and widespread distribution in shopping centres and shops of musical instruments. Sordinella reaches such a resonance that even the pages of international newspapers of the Recorder Home Page talk about it in the sections of history of the recorder and in those dedicated to accessories. In Italy there have been reviews and reports in numerous music magazines and on many sites dedicated to the teaching of music in compulsory schooling. Finally, it is undeniable that Sordinella was a real innovation also from the point of view of the made in Italy market.
