Flanders Recorder Quartet

 

 

 

Instruments used by FRQ

 

In a wide variety of programs, the FRQ performs with great virtuosity, using carefully chosen examples from its unique collection, thus making each and every concert an unforgettable happening. Some of the most intriguing recorders in the collection are: the Virdung (1511) copies crafted by recorder builder Adrian Brown; a dozen recorders copied from the Vienna-collection, the 2.30 meter (7ft 6in.) tall baroque sub-bass designed and built by von Huene in Boston and modern recorder models made by Coolsma from Utrecht in the Netherlands. Such an array of unique and very rare specimens provides a feast for the eyes and the ears and serves as a convincing plea in honour of the instrument.

The instrument parc of the FRQ is constantly changing and consists at the moment of:
