Kulossa MRS-1B, soprano in c', baroque fingering, 3-piece, plastic, translucent

The instrument with the model designation: MRS-1B-T-KUL built by Kulossa is a musical tool that creates lasting fun when making music.
This feature is largely due to the clever combination of the unique design in fine tuning with the advantages of the plastic material used.

The material used for this instrument is strikingly appealing thanks to its exceptional sound characteristics. The properties can be characterised as follows: .

The scale

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

What music is the recorder best suited to?

Plastic is particularly suitable for recorders that are used in.

Who is the instrument aimed at?

From the above facts, it is clear that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule to bear in mind is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning more enjoyable than a simple one.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing 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. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the instrument's ability to create music.

The windway of the Kulossa MRS-1B-T-KUL model is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are naturally complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other.

Fingering

The Kulossa MRS-1B-T-KUL recorder is offered in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.

Construction method

The number of components in a recorder has a fundamental influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument is handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and compact transport on the other.
This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported.
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 appropriate accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart

Hygiene tips

If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to clean the windway sterilely if necessary to prevent the transmission of diseases. Flautisept has proven to be a practical aid. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:

To be on the safe side, test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any unwanted marks on your recorder.

Optional information on keys

It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.
The MRS-1B-T-KUL instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands.

Notes on the way to your new recorder

How to find your next instrument easily
Seek expert advice!
However, don't let "generally applicable" rules such as "material xy doesn't work at all in ensembles / for professionals" stop you from testing an instrument yourself. Your taste is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide for yourself which construction method tempts you to "make music endlessly".
Our recommendation is therefore to play unknown materials that you have never tried before. You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
