This property is due to the careful combination of the groundbreaking composition in combination with the sound of the material Plumwood.

The material produces in this instrument a unique singularity, by the own materialtypical sound. The characteristics can described in the following words, whereas it is in the nature of things that sounds can always be described very inadequately with words. Therefore the sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in details somewhat varying. We use these words: Plumwood: Overtone-rich, slightly nasal sound. Fits very well with singing voices

The bore

The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is light cylindroconical. This kind of bore course grants the recorder such a tipically sound.
In principle, instruments with wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more suitable for ensembles than models with narrower scale.

For what styles can the recorder best be used for?

Plumwood is greatly suitable for recorders used for: focus on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.

To whom is this recorder addressed?

For the above facts it follows that instruments made of Plumwood are especially for ambitious amateurs and advanced players recommendable. A second to be heeded rule is that a higher instrument makes the learning progress in most cases beautiful than a quality low-cost bargain.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of tone production. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the bore. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument 4002-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is very complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
