This F-Alto with the model number: G-1A-ZEN constructed by Zen-On is a recorder, the in making music always can give fun.
This circumstance is based to a large part on the careful merging of the genius model in fusion with the expression of the material Plastic.

The material makes this instrument a strikingly pleasant characteristic, by its special preferences. The characteristics can described as follows, whereas it is in the nature of things that sounds can always be described very inadequately with words. Therefore the material typical sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in details a bit uniquely. We say: ABS-plastic (Acrylnitril-butadien-styrol): Clear sound, rich in overtones. Sometimes a bit crisper with smaller instruments

The bore

The course of the inner bore of the recorder is light cylindroconical. This kind of bore course gives the instrument this characteristic tone.
In principle, recorders with wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more suitable for ensembles than instruments with narrower inner bore.

For which music can this instrument best be used for?

Plastic is wonderful for instruments used for: Focus on education and school music.

To whom is this recorder addressed?

This means that instruments made of Plastic are especially for ambitious amateurs and advanced players recommendable. An additional valid rule is that a better instrument makes the learning as pleasant than a inferior low-cost bargain.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of the instruments tone. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. And this is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the influenceability of the possible sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument G-1A-ZEN of Zen-On has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
