The recorder with the article number: 1402-KUE from the Küng workshop is a musical tool that makes making music fun. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the clever combination of the special design in fine tuning with the sound characteristics of the maple material used. This material fascinates with its special advantages. The special characteristics can best be described in the following words, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. For this reason, the typical sound of recorders is perceived and described differently by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear wood. The scale The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. 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 scale. Which musical styles can the recorder be used for? Maple is particularly suitable for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, although other styles are possible. Who the instrument is aimed at This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a better quality instrument will naturally make playing together more enriching than a seemingly inexpensive bargain. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound. In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely important for influencing the sounds that can be produced by the instrument. The windway of the Küng model 1402-KUE is shaped as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters interact. Fingering The Küng 1402-KUE instrument is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction method The way in which an instrument is constructed strongly influences the way in which the recorder can be handled in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport during daily use. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Recorder orchestra leaders will agree with us. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and the appropriate accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the instrument is played by several people, it is advisable to disinfect the windway if necessary to prevent the transmission of diseases. The product Flautisept has proven to be effective in such cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Lacquered surfacesLinseed oil surfacesUntreated wooden surfacesABS plasticsWaxed surfacesGlazed surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesRESONA However, to be on the safe side, test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not cause any adverse changes to your instrument. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body that are easy to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, the tone holes on deep recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place. The 1402-KUE instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played by players with smaller hands. Recommendations for finding a new recorder How to find your next instrument safely Seek expert advice! But don't let "expert" opinions put you off playing a recorder yourself. Your musical sensibilities are as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which instrument makes you happy.

The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the recorder's sound production. In interaction with the labium, this sheet of air creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the musical formability of the instrument's achievable sounds. The windway of the Küng 5997 ALT E3-KUE recorder is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the airflow more than cylindrical ones.
