Product information "Kunath, "Stars-recorder", pentatonic, 440Hz and 432Hz , pear tree"
The pentatonic soprano (descant) recorder for beginners in classroom music making.
The 51080 belongs to the group of combination recorders.
The combination recorders are a recorder system that was developed / invented by Kunath Instrumentenbau especially for Waldorf schools.
Tuning
The instrument can be played in 440 Hz by removing the tuning rings.
By inserting the tuning rings, the tuning is at 432 Hz.
Who this instrument is aimed at
School classes who want to start with the pentatonic range and then later switch to the diatonic / chromatic range at a favourable price.
The favourable switch is made possible by the combination recorder system.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder in which the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is the nucleus of the instrument's sound and, in combination with the labium, the air sheet produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the response and sound of the recorder.
The model 51080has a windway that is straight and cylindrical in shape.
The volume of the instrument can be reduced with a Sound strip (optional accessory) if required.
Multi-part design
The 51080 pentatonic stars-recorder has two parts.
This concept - and the special design features of the stars-recorder - allow it to be used as a "combination recorder".
