Kunath, "Stars-recorder", pentatonic, 440Hz, pear tree

Product information "Kunath, "Stars-recorder", pentatonic, 440Hz, pear tree"

The pentatonic soprano (descant) recorder for beginners in classroom music-making.
The 50080 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.

The scale

The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is cylindroconical and wider than other pentatonic recorders. 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 inner bore.

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 creates 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 50080 has 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 50080 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".
