The instrument with the model designation: 4311-MAR from Marsyas is an instrument that is as much fun to play in the classroom as it is on stage. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the clever composition of the special design in fine coordination with the tone colours of the pear wood used. This material stands out in the instrument due to its special advantages. The special characteristics can be summarised as follows: Pear wood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group. 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. What music can the instrument be used for Birnbaum is ideal for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who is the instrument aimed at? It follows from the above that pearwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another generally applicable rule is that a better quality instrument generally makes learning progress more enriching than a poor one. The windway of a 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 a recorder'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 very relevant for the artistic usability of the recorder. The windway of the Marsyas model 4311-MAR is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Marsyas 4311-MAR model is manufactured in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.

The instrument with the model designation: 4313-MAR manufactured by Marsyas is an instrument that provides tireless fun in daily use. This is due to the skilful combination of the special model design in symbiosis with the qualities of the boxwood material used. The material fascinates with its extraordinary sound characteristics. 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. Therefore, the sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound,. 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 inner bore. What music can the instrument be used for Boxwood is predestined for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who is the instrument aimed at? It follows that boxwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A general rule of thumb is that a better instrument naturally makes it easier to make music than what at first glance appears to be a cheaper option. 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 defining element 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 very important for the sound and response of the recorder.
