The instrument with the model number: 117-152-KUN from the Kunath Instrumentenbau workshop is a recorder that is always a joy to play. This characteristic is largely due to the masterful combination of the above-average design in fine tuning with the sound characteristics of the pear wood used. The unique sound characteristics of this instrument make it a pleasant instrument to play. The properties can be characterised as follows: Pear wood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group. The scale The inner bore of the instrument is cylindroconical and very wide. 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. What music is the recorder best suited to? Pearwood is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in the . Who is this recorder aimed at This means that pearwood instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. Another generally applicable basic rule is that a high-quality instrument naturally makes learning less complicated than a seemingly inexpensive bargain. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the defining element of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the instrument. The windway of the 117-152-KUN instrument from Kunath Instrumentenbau is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are naturally complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The instrument Kunath Instrumentenbau 117-152-KUN is made in the following fingering: Pentatonic. Construction method The construction of a musical instrument in terms of multiple parts influences the way in which the recorder is handled in daily use, both in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Recorder choir directors know how useful good and compact recorder bags are. Provided the instruments can be easily disassembled.

The recorder with the model number: 1026-MOE built by Moeck is a companion that provides tireless fun while making music. The instrument owes this special feature mainly to the clever combination of the pioneering model with the sound characteristics of the maple material used. The special sound characteristics of the material used in this instrument are remarkably pleasing. The special features can be roughly described as follows, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of recorders is perceived and described in varying detail by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear. The scale The inner bore of the instrument 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. What music can the recorder be used for? Maple is predestined for recorders that are used in. Who is the instrument aimed at? This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule worth noting is that in most cases, a better quality instrument makes it easier to make music than a seemingly inexpensive one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound. In interaction with the labium, the vibration that generates the flute tone is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the range of musical expressiveness of the recorder. The windway of the Moeck model 1026-MOE is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Moeck 1026-MOE recorder is made in the following fingering: Pentatonic. Construction of the body The number of parts of a woodwind instrument strongly influences the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of grip and compact transport during daily use. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this. Packaging and accessories The model is supplied as standard with a bag in a sturdy cardboard box and the appropriate accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, care instructions, fingering chart Hygiene tips If the recorder is lent out frequently, it is advisable to clean the headjoint sterilely at regular intervals for your own protection.

The recorder with the article number: 1027-MOE from the Moeck workshop is a companion that is always fun to play on a daily basis. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the clever marriage of the well-considered model design in fine tuning with the advantages of the wood/plastic combination used. The material used for this instrument is characterised by its special qualities. The characteristics can be roughly described as follows, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. This is why the sound of a recorder is perceived and described differently by each individual: Wood/plastic combination: clear, warm sound. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument 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 inner bore. What styles of music can the instrument be used for The wood/plastic combination is ideal for recorders that are used in. Who is this instrument aimed at From the above facts, it is clear that wood/plastic combination recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. A second rule to bear in mind is that in most cases a high-quality instrument makes learning easier than a seemingly inexpensive bargain. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound of a recorder. At the labium, the leaf of air creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore very relevant for the artistic usability of the instrument. The windway of the Moeck 1027-MOE recorder is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters play together. Fingering The Moeck 1027-MOE recorder is supplied with fingering: Pentatonic.
