Sigo, a highly innovative recorder developed by Swiss recorder designer & maker Geri Bollinger, is now manufactured & marketed by Kunath. Its complex serpentine bore, retroflexed head joint & reflexed foot, compress a tenor recorder into one not much longer than a soprano thus bringing the finger holes much closer together than those of former design. Sigo is made of light-weight RESONA, a material developed from renewable raw materials, which can be 3-D printed. The timbre is conventional in quality with contemporary ‘baroque’ fingering. The Sigo tenor is currently available at a remarkably low price. Alto & basset models are under development. See here & there for images & more information on these revolutionary instruments.
