Küng, "SUPERIO", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, rosewood

The instrument with the model designation: 2306-KUE built by Küng is a musical tool that is always fun to play.
This is due to the clever combination of the outstanding model design in symbiosis with the tone colours of the rosewood material used.

The special qualities of the material used for this instrument are impressive. The special features can be characterised as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, the typical sound of recorders is perceived and described in slightly different ways by each person: Rosewood: Very noble, pithy sound.

The scale

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

Which musical styles can the recorder be used for?

Rosewood is particularly suitable for recorders that focus on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.

Who the instrument is aimed at

It follows from the above that rosewood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule to bear in mind is that a high-quality instrument generally makes learning progress easier than a poor-quality one.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of a recorder's sound production. In interaction with the labium, the air blade produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely important for the artistic usability of the recorder.

The windway of the Küng model 2306-KUE is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are very complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.

Fingering

The Küng 2306-KUE recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.

Construction method

The construction of a recorder in terms of its multiple parts influences in many ways the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled easily and transported safely during daily use.
This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are taken along.
Leaders of large playing groups will agree with us.

Packaging and accessories

The model is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions

Hygiene tips

If the recorder is lent out again and again, you should consider sterilising the beak area again and again to prevent the transmission of diseases. Flautisept has proven to be a good solution for this. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:

• Spirit-stained surfaces
• RESONA
• Linseed oil surfaces
• Waxed surfaces
• Lacquered surfaces
• ABS plastics
• Glazed surfaces
• Untreated wood surfaces

However, it is essential that you test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any discolouration on your instrument.

Optional information on keys

It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places on the instrument that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on deep recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 2306-KUE instrument has the following keys: . This makes it remarkably easy to play, even for players with smaller hands.
