Kulossa MRS-1B, soprano in c', baroque double hole, 3-piece, plastic, grey translucent

The instrument with the model number: MRS-1B-TG-KUL from Kulossa is a musical tool that can always make music fun in everyday use.
The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful combination of the pioneering construction concept in fine tuning with the sound characteristics of the plastic material used.

This material fascinates with its special advantages. The features can be characterised as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, each person perceives and describes the details of the material-specific sound of recorders differently: .

The scale

The inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical and on average narrower. 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 scale.

For which musical styles is the recorder best suited?

Plastic is ideally suited for instruments that are used in the .

Who is this instrument aimed at

This means that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. Another generally applicable rule is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning less complicated than a seemingly inexpensive offer.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point of the instrument's sound. In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely important for the recorder's ability to create music.

The windway of the Kulossa MRS-1B-TG-KUL recorder is shaped as follows: curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones.
Due to their geometric shape, windways are extremely complex and many parameters influence each other.

Fingering

The Kulossa MRS-1B-TG-KUL model is manufactured in fingering: Baroque double hole.

Construction method

The construction of a woodwind instrument has a strong influence on the way in which the recorder is handled on a daily basis, both in terms of ease of grip and ease of transport.
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 recorder comes with a bag and useful accessories as standard: Wiper stick, fingering chart

Hygiene tips

If the recorder is used by several players, it is advisable to clean the beak area repeatedly to prevent the transmission of diseases. Flautisept has proven to be a convenient but safe cleaning agent in such cases. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:

• Linseed oil surfaces
• Glazed surfaces
• Lacquered surfaces
• Waxed surfaces
• Spirit-stained surfaces
• Untreated wood surfaces
• ABS plastics
• RESONA

However, 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 reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, tone holes on bass recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The MRS-1B-TG-KUL instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easier than average for players with smaller hands to play.

Advice on finding a new instrument

What is the easiest way to find your next instrument?
Ask people you know!
Under no circumstances should you let the opinions of "self-proclaimed experts" put you off trying out a recorder for yourself. Your taste is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which instrument appeals to you personally.
Our recommendation is therefore: play new models that you have not yet tried out. You can't lose anything, you can only gain new experiences.
