Küng, "STUDIO", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, pearwood stained

The instrument with the article number: 1311-KUE made by Küng is an instrument that is always fun to play.
This special feature is due to the clever combination of the pioneering design with the qualities of the pear wood material used.

The extraordinary qualities of this instrument's material are strikingly impressive. The characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. For this reason, the typical sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in slightly different ways: Pear: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group.

The scale

The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.

What styles of music can the instrument be used for

Pearwood is particularly suitable for recorders that are used in.

Who is the instrument aimed at?

The above facts show that pearwood recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. An important rule is that a high-quality instrument naturally makes learning easier than a poor-quality one.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of a recorder's sound production. At the labium, the air blade produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the artistic usability of the recorder.

The windway of the Küng model 1311-KUE is constructed as follows: Straight, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones.
Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other.

Fingering

The Küng 1311-KUE recorder is made in the fingering: Baroque double hole.

Construction method
