The recorder with the model number: 4413-MAR manufactured by Küng is a musical tool, that in lessons, or performing constantly can make joy.
This property is based to a large part on the special combination of the groundbreaking instrument model in combination with the qualities of the material Boxwood.

The material creates in this instrument a unique characteristic, by its materialtypical preferences. The special qualities can be described: very inadequately with words. Therefore the material typical sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in details slightly uniquely. We say: Boxwood: Powerful sound, carrying in the treble.

The bore

The course of the inner bore of the instrument is light cylindroconical. This kind of bore shape grants the instrument this typical tone.
In principle, recorders with wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more suitable for ensembles than instruments with narrower scale.

Boxwood is wonderful for woodwinds used for: Ensemble, choral and solo performance.

To whom is this recorder addressed?

This means that recorders made of Boxwood are especially for ambitious amateurs and advanced players recommendable. A second important rule is that a better instrument makes the learning progress as enriching apparently low-cost offer.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point 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 sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the model 4413-MAR of Küng has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is very complex in their design. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
