The instrument with the model name: LCCHY26B-WOO from the Woodnote workshop is an instrument that is always fun to play. This characteristic is largely due to the masterful combination of the pioneering model design with the advantages of the plastic material used. The material used for this instrument is characterised by its typical sound characteristics. The special features can be characterised in this way, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described with words. This is why the sound of a recorder is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: . The scale The inner bore of the recorder 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 is the recorder best suited to? Plastic is predestined for recorders that are used in. Who is the instrument aimed at? This means that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule worth noting is that in most cases, a better instrument makes learning progress less complicated than a simple one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is one of the most important elements in the sound production 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 very influential for influencing the sounds that can be produced by the recorder. The windway of the Woodnote LCCHY26B-WOO instrument is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Woodnote LCCHY26B-WOO recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Multiple parts The number of components of a woodwind instrument fundamentally determines the way in which the recorder can be handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. A point that becomes particularly important when larger or more instruments are taken along. Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this. Packaging and accessories The recorder comes with a bag and the following accessories as standard: Wiper rod, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the instrument is lent out from time to time, it is advisable to disinfect the blowing area at regular intervals to ensure hygienic safety. Flautisept has proven to be a reliable aid here. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Lacquered surfacesUntreated wooden surfacesRESONAABS plasticsLinseed oil surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesWaxed surfacesGlazed surfaces To be on the safe side, test on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that the product does not leave any discolouration on your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to place the tone holes in places in the body that are easy to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on deep recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place. The LCCHY26B-WOO instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands. Recommendations for finding a new instrument How to find your new instrument safely Find out all you can!
