The recorder with the model number: 740-HUB from Huber is a companion that can generate lasting playing pleasure in daily use. This characteristic is largely due to the masterful combination of the unique construction concept in fine tuning with the advantages of the pear wood material used. This material impresses with its typical advantages. The special features can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. Therefore, the sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Pear: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group. 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. For which musical styles is the recorder best suited? Pearwood is predestined for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as soloists. Who is this recorder aimed at? This means that pearwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a higher-quality instrument naturally makes learning progress easier than a seemingly inexpensive instrument. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of a recorder'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 very relevant for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the recorder. The windway of the Huber 740-HUB instrument is constructed as follows: .Conical windways accelerate the air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Huber 740-HUB model is offered in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.
