An instrument akin to the

Modern Harmonic Alto recorder

with an innovative, cool design,

strong tone, and built-in adap-

tation as an electric recorder.

The electrifyingly cool recorder

”When I began to work with the Elody, I found playing it acoustically very enjoya-

ble and beautiful so that I used it for the impending project ’Symphonic Selections’

in which Spark joined forces with the orchestra of the West German Radio (WDR

Rundfunkorchester) to play the ’Wind Waker’ concert programme in the Cologne

Philharmonia. The Elody fulfilled all expectations in sound, pitch, volume and

versatility, and was also an exciting eye-catcher.“

The outer shape of the Elody is not round

but has a curved, wider surface.

This enables a more ergonomic

hand position on the instrument:

dynamic fingerings and glissandi

become much easier to play.

”I have around three hundred different recorders

at home – so I am not really short of instruments.

But something has always been missing: the Elody,

a recorder that can hold its ground against any

electric guitar by virtue of its power, timbre and the

unique design. This dream has come true after four

years of developmental work.“

Thumb rest: an innovative thumb

support made from soft synthetic rubber

is an integral part of every Elody.

The skin-friendly material provides the

right hand thumb with a surprisingly

stable grip without disturbing agility.

”When I first held the Elody in my

hand I knew immediately that it was

a really cool new development. The

range of possibilities that this recorder

offers are just amazing.“

Colour and motif design

The designs of Elody are prepared

by hand using an airbrush tech-

nique. There may, therefore, be

slight variations in motif detail.

The Elody uses the same playing

technique as a traditional acoustic re-

corder: familiar fingerings and blowing

techniques can be applied right from

the start. In addition, its design as an

harmonic recorder offers a range of up

to three octaves, as well as a stable and

powerful sound. The built-in pickup

turns the Elody into an electro-acoustic

instrument: connected effects units en-

sure not only a rich and powerful sound

(from low to high volume) but can also

realise a diverse and variable range of

sounds according to the player’s wishes.

Interface

There are many different ways of

playing the Elody as an electric recorder.

Here we present some of the simplest

and most effective set-ups that are also

used by electric guitarists:

• Connect the Elody to an interface

using any sound software (available

as an app on smartphones, tablets

or PCs) so that it can be heard via

loudspeakers.

• Connect the Elody to a multi-effect

processor (or to a series of effects

units) and from there to a loud-

speaker.

• Connect the Elody directly to a

modelling amp.

Block from Synpor-wood composite: This

special block provides the instrument with a

new musical ‚durability‘: the core of the block

consists of an artificial imitation wood product

– synpor, that absorbs the moisture of breath

condensation without swelling. The synpor

core is embedded into a solid, naturally grown,

cedar wood shell.
