The following sound samples compare an original Stanesby Sr. Alto played by Frans Bruggen with a copy made by Ehlert for Dorothee Oberlinger. While the overall harmonics seem quite similar to me, the original instrument is more focused and also has a more pronounced chiff. Also note the delightful combination of bass recorder (Ehlert/Moeck Rottenburgh) doubling the continuo line with the Ehlert version of the alto.
