This recorder with the article number: 333BI-FEH constructed by FEHR is an instrument, that in daily use unfailingly can give fun.
This property is based to a large part on the considerate merging of the genius composition in combination with the characteristics of the material Pearwood.

This material makes the instrument a conspicuous sound, by the own materialtypical qualities. The qualities can be descibed approximately so: inadequately with words. Therefore the sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in details a bit varying. We say: Pearwood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group

The bore

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

Pearwood is particularly for woodwinds used for: focus on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.

To whom is this recorder addressed?

This means that recorders made of Pearwood are especially for ambitious amateurs and advanced players suitable. An additional important rule is that a demanding instrument makes the learning naturally beautiful apparently low-cost offer.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the instruments tone. In interaction with 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. This is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the instrument.

The windway of the model 333BI-FEH of FEHR has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the sound is exceedingly complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
