The instrument with the article number: KOPF-KUN made by Kunath Instrumentenbau is a companion that is always fun to play. This characteristic is largely due to the carefully considered composition of the special instrument model in fine tuning with the advantages of the pear wood material used. This material is a delight to play thanks to its extraordinary advantages. The special features can be characterised as follows: Pear wood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group. The scale The inner bore of the recorder is . 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? Pearwood is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in orchestras. Who is this instrument aimed at? It follows from this that pearwood instruments are particularly suitable for. A second rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a higher quality instrument naturally makes learning progress easier than a cheaper one. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the recorder head where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound of a recorder. In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extraordinarily relevant for the response and sound of the instrument. The windway of the KOPF-KUN model from Kunath Instrumentenbau is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Kunath Instrumentenbau KOPF-KUN instrument is offered in fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction of the body The construction of the body of a woodwind instrument influences in many ways the way in which the recorder can be handled easily and transported comfortably during daily use. This is particularly important when transporting larger or multiple instruments. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with the appropriate accessories: Hygiene tips If the recorder is played by several people, we recommend that you clean the windway sterilely at regular intervals to maintain cleanliness. In these cases, the care product Flautisept has proven its worth. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Glazed surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesRESONALinseed oil surfacesWaxed surfacesUntreated wood surfacesABS plasticsLacquered surfaces However, before use, test on an inconspicuous area to ensure that Fautisept does not leave any unwanted traces on your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to place tone holes in places in the body that are easy to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on larger instruments 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 KOPF-KUN instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played well by players with smaller hands. Recommendations on the way to a new recorder How to find a future instrument safely Ask people you know! However, never let "well-intentioned" advice put you off trying out an instrument yourself. Your musical sensitivity is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which instrument concept appeals to you. Our recommendation is therefore: try out different models that you may not have tested yet. You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

The combination recorders are a recorder system that was developed / invented by Kunath Instrumentenbau especially for Waldorf schools.TuningThe instrument can be played in 440 Hz by removing the tuning rings. By inserting the tuning rings, the tuning is at 432 Hz.The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is cylindroconical and wider than other pentatonic recorders. 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. Who is this instrument aimed at? School classes who want to start with the pentatonic range and then later switch to the diatonic / chromatic range at a favourable price.The favourable switch is made possible by the combination recorder system.The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder in which the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus 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 one of the defining principles for the response and sound of the recorder. The model 51080 has a windway that is straight and cylindrical in shape.The volume of the instrument can be reduced with a Sound strip (optional accessory) if required. Fingering The instrument pentatonic stars-recorder 51080 is manufactured in 7-tone pentatonic fingeringMultiple parts The pentatonic stars-recorder 51080 is made in two parts.This concept - and the special design features of the stars-recorder - make it possible to use it as a "combination recorder".
