Overview
Overview
The current owner is Sabine Haase-Moeck. The company produces recorders for beginners and handmade instruments for soloists. They began as a publisher in 1929/30 as part of the youth movement in Germany, later adding recorders manufactured by Markneukirchen, and began manufacturing their own instruments in 1949. Beginning in 1966, during the revival of early music, they worked with Friedrich von Huene to develop their Rottenburgh model line. Moeck formerly manufactured historical instruments such as crumhorn, rauschpfeifes, shawms, cornetts, and dulcians designed by Otto Steinkopf, but the Renaissance and Baroque Woodwind Instruments division was closed in December 2008. The publishing division specialized in recorder music, and publishes Tibia, a woodwind periodical. For the past 40 years, Moeck has had a commercial relationship with The Early Music Shop, the largest music store worldwide specialising in renaissance instruments, which serves as one of its official exclusive UK distributors and agents. Moeck is now one of the most recognised recorder makes in the world.
It is associated with Germany. The record gives 1925 as its date of establishment or first appearance. Its recorded founders are Hermann Moeck. Its recorded seat is Celle. The recorded field of activity is musical instrument making. Recorded products are recorder. It is recorded in the collection of Celle.
