Küng, "SUPERIO", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, Castello Buchs stained

The recorder with the article number: 2314-KUE built by Küng is a companion that makes playing music tirelessly fun.
This special feature is largely due to the skilful combination of the unique model in interaction with the tone colours of the boxwood material used.

The material used for this instrument is strikingly pleasing due to its typical sound characteristics. The properties can be characterised as follows: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound.

The scale

The inner bore of the recorder 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.

For which musical styles can the instrument be best utilised?

Boxwood is predestined for instruments focussing on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.

Who the instrument is aimed at

The above facts show that boxwood instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb worth noting is that a high-quality instrument generally makes music-making less complicated than a supposedly cheap one.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements of the instrument's sound and, together with the labium, the air sheet creates the vibration that generates the flute's sound. The shape of the windway is therefore very relevant to the sound and response of the recorder.

The windway of the Küng 2314-KUE recorder is shaped as follows: curved, conical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
