Die Mensur Die Innenbohrung des Instruments ist schwach zylindrokonisch. Diese Art des Bohrungsverlaufs gibt dem Instrument seinen typischen Klang. Prinzipiell klingen Blockflöten mit weiterer Bohrung wärmer, voller, grundtöniger und damit ensemblefähiger als Instrumente mit engerer Innenbohrung. Für welche Musik kann die Flöte am besten verwendet werden Birnbaum eignet sich besonders für Blockflöten, die im Schwerpunkt chorisches Spiel, Blockflötenensembles und -orchester, andere Stilarten sind möglich verwendet werden. An wen richtet sich dieses Instrument Hieraus ergibt es sich, dass Blockflöten aus Birnbaum sich besonders für ambitionierte Laien und fortgeschrittene SpielerInnen eignen. Eine darüber hinaus wichtige Gesetzmäßigkeit ist, dass ein besseres Instrument das Musizieren in der Regel unkomplizierter macht, als ein günstiges. Der Windkanal einer Blockflöte Der Windkanal ist der Bereich im Kopf des Instruments, in dem die Atemluft des Musizierenden zu einem Luftblatt geformt wird. Dieses Luftblatt ist eines der wichtigsten Elemente des Klanges einer Flöte. Im Zusammenspiel mit dem Labium entsteht so aus dem Luftblatt die den Flötenton ursächlich generierende Schwingung. Die Form des Windkanals ist damit einer der prägenden Grundsätze für die Beeinflußbarkeit der zur Verfügung stehende Klänge der Flöte. Der Windkanal der Blockflöte 1501-KUE von Küng ist folgendermaßen gebaut: Gerade, konisch.Konische Windkanäle beschleunigen das Luftblatt stärker, als zylindrisch geformte. Windkanäle sind in ihrer geometrischen Formgebung systembedingt sehr komplex und viele Parameter werden voneinander beeinflusst. Griffweise Das Modell Küng 1501-KUE wird in der folgenden Griffweise ausgeliefert: Barock Doppelloch. Konstruktion des Korpus Die Konstruktionsweise einer Flöte beeinflusst außerordentlich die Art und Weise mit der das Holzblasinstrument bei der täglichen Nutzung zum einen eine einfache Handhabung in Bezug auf leichte Greifbarkeit und zum anderen einen sicheren Transport ermöglicht. Das ist besonders beim Transportieren von größeren (und teilweise mehreren) Instrumenten ein nicht zu unterschätzender Punkt. Fragen sie einmal altgediente Ensembleverantwortliche. Verpackung und Zubehör Das Instrument wird serienmäßig mit Tasche und dem passenden Zubehör ausgeliefert: Wischerstab, Grifftabelle, Pflegeanleitung Tipps zur Hygiene Wird die Blockflöte von mehreren SpielerInnen verwendet, ist es sinnvoll zur Sicherung der hygienischen Unbedenklichkeit den Anblasbereich bei Bedarf zu sterilisieren.
