Not the mass-produced plastic instrument played by millions of children ever since the instrument was revived by Arnold Dolmesch, but the redesigned Mollenhauer instrument of this name. It sounds and is played just like a normal A = 440 instrument, but with a firmer tone on the lowest notes and almost 3 octaves of playable notes. Now there's a further development of this design - the Elody, which is a treble recoder with an electronic pickup and an extended footjoint.
As one who dislikes amplification, it feel odd to be looking for a way of buying one of these new instruments.
