Kunath, "sun recorder", pentatonic, 432 Hz, d''e''g''a''h''d''e''

The scale

The inner bore of the recorder is cylindroconical and slightly wider than normal soprano (descant) recorders.
This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower inner bore.

Who is this recorder aimed at?

School classes in Waldorf schools, Montessori schools or early music education.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute's sound is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the musical formability of the achievable sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the sun recorder is 30% narrower than the usual width for soprano instruments. This results in the delicate sound.

The sun recorder has a straight and very narrow cylindrical windway.
