This peculiarity is based to a large part on the careful composition of the groundbreaking model in interplay with the qualities of the material Grenadilla.

The material makes this instrument a conspicuous characteristic, by its materialtypical preferences. The qualities can described as follows, 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 in details differently. We use these words: Grenadilla: Clear, rich in overtones and powerful sound. Very portable.

The bore

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

Grenadilla is greatly suitable for recorders used for: Ensemble, choral and solo performance.

To whom is this recorder addressed?

For the above facts it follows that recorders made of Grenadilla are especially for ambitious amateurs and advanced players recommendable. A further important rule is that a quality instrument makes the learning naturally enriching than a inferior low-cost bargain.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the instruments tone. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow 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 applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of the available sound spectra of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument 243GR-FEH of FEHR has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the voicing is complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
