The instrument with the article number: 501S-AUL, made by Aulos, is a companion that gives you tireless joy when making music. This is due to the carefully considered marriage of the pioneering model design in symbiosis with the sound characteristics of the plastic material used. The special qualities of the material used in this instrument are particularly impressive. The characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, the sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: . The scale The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound. In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale. For which musical styles can the instrument be best used? Plastic is predestined for recorders that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible. Who the instrument is aimed at It follows from this that plastic instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another basic rule to bear in mind is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes learning progress less complicated than a seemingly inexpensive bargain. The windway of the 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 nucleus of the recorder's sound. In interaction with the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely influential for influencing the available sounds of the instrument. The windway of the Aulos model 501S-AUL is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Aulos 501S-AUL instrument is supplied in fingering: Baroque single hole. Construction method The number of individual parts of a recorder has a strong influence on the way in which it can be handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Just ask veteran ensemble managers. Packaging and accessories The model is supplied as standard with a bag and useful accessories: Hygiene tips If the recorder is shared, you should consider sterilising the beak area if necessary to ensure hygienic safety. Flautisept has proven effective for this purpose. Flautisept is available in our collection.

Optional information on keys It is not always possible to place tone holes in places in the body that are easy and comfortable to play with your fingers. Especially on larger instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place. The 501S-AUL instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands. Recommendations for finding a new recorder How to easily find your next instrument Seek expert advice!

The recorder with the article number: 1102-KUE manufactured by Küng is a musical tool that provides tireless fun in daily use. The instrument owes this mainly to the special combination of the unique model in symbiosis with the qualities of the maple material used. The material fascinates with its typical sound characteristics. The special features can be characterised as follows: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear wood. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound. In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.

The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the instrument's sound. In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the basic characteristics for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the recorder. The windway of the Küng model 1102-KUE is shaped as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
