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.
