Küng, "STUDIO", Garklein in c''', rosewood

Product information "Küng, "STUDIO", Garklein in c''', rosewood"

The instrument with the model designation: 1106-KUE manufactured by Küng is a musical tool that is always fun to play.
The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the masterful combination of the special design with the qualities of the rosewood material used.

The material inspires with its unique sound characteristics. The special features can be characterised as follows: Rosewood: Very noble, pithy sound.

The scale

The inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.

Which musical styles are best suited to the recorder

Rosewood is particularly suitable for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, although other styles are possible.

Who this instrument is aimed at

It follows that rosewood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another generally applicable rule of thumb is that a better quality instrument generally makes music-making less complicated than a supposedly cheaper one.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore very influential on the sound and response of the instrument.

The windway of the Küng model 1106-KUE is shaped as follows: Straight cylindrical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters interact.

Fingering

The Küng 1106-KUE recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque single hole.

Construction of the body

The construction of a woodwind instrument has a fundamental influence on the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and compact transport on the other.
This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.

Packaging and accessories

The instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and the following accessories:

Hygiene tips

If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to disinfect the headjoint at regular intervals to keep it clean. Flautisept has proven to be a reliable aid in these cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:
  1. Glazed surfaces
  2. Linseed oil surfaces
  3. Waxed surfaces
  4. Lacquered surfaces
  5. ABS plastics
  6. Untreated wood surfaces
  7. RESONA
  8. Spirit stained surfaces
To be on the safe side, test on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that Fautisept does not leave any adverse changes on your instrument.

Optional information on keys

It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places that are easy to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on low instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.
The 1106-KUE instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played well by players with smaller hands.

Notes on the way to a new recorder

How to find a new instrument easily
Ask people you know!
Under no circumstances should you let "generally accepted" rules such as "material xy doesn't work at all in an ensemble / for professionals" stop you from playing a recorder yourself. Your musical perception is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which recorder touches you personally.
Our recommendation is therefore: try different models that you may never have tested before. You can only gain new experiences.
