The Soprano with the model number: S 8126 G-DOL manufactured by Dolmetsch is an instrument, that in making music repeatedly can give fun.

The material produces in this instrument a pleasant singularity, by the own special sound. The properties can described in the following words, whereas it is in the nature of things that sounds can always be described inadequately with words. Therefore the material typical sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person inthe details slightly uniquely. We use these words: Grenadilla: Clear, rich in overtones and powerful sound. Very portable.

The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is light cylindroconical. This kind of bore shape gives the recorder such a tipically sound.
In principle, instruments with wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more suitable for ensembles than models with narrower inner bore.

To whom is this recorder addressed?

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the instruments tone. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the range of musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument S 8126 G-DOL of Dolmetsch has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the sound is very complex in their geometric shape. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
