Kulossa, "MRA-1B", alto in f'. baroque double hole, plastic, brown
US$56.00*
The instrument with the model designation: MRA-1B-KUL manufactured by Kulossa is a travelling companion that tirelessly generates fun in daily use.
The instrument owes this fact mainly to the clever combination of the pioneering model design in symbiosis with the sound colours of the plastic material used.
This material gives the instrument a strikingly pleasing sound with its unique advantages. The special features 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 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.
What music can the instrument be used for
Plastic is ideal for instruments that are used in all styles.
Who is this recorder aimed at
The above facts show that plastic instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. One basic rule to bear in mind is that a better quality instrument naturally makes learning easier than a poor quality one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound.
In interaction with the labium, this sheet of air creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining principles
for the sound and response of the recorder. The windway of the Kulossa MRA-1B-KUL model is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Kulossa MRA-1B-KUL recorder is made in the fingering style: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument influences in many ways the way in which the recorder is handled in daily use, both in terms of ease of grip and ease of transport. This is particularly important when transporting larger or multiple instruments.
Recorder ensemble leaders will agree with us.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder comes with a bag and the following accessories as standard: Wiper rod, fingering chart
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is borrowed frequently, we recommend that you sterilise the headjoint regularly to ensure that it is hygienically safe.
The care product Flautisept has proved its worth here. You can find Flautisept in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Spirit-stained surfaces, untreated wooden surfaces, RESONA, waxed surfaces, ABS plastics, lacquered surfaces, varnished surfaces, linseed oil surfaces
To be on the safe side, test Fautisept on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any discolouration on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The MRA-1B-KUL instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands.

Kulossa, "MRA-1B", alto in f'. baroque double hole, plastic, translucent grey
US$68.00*
The instrument with the model designation: MRA-1B-TA-KUL built by Kulossa is a musical tool that is always a joy to play in daily use.
This characteristic is due to the skilful combination of the carefully considered instrument model in fine tuning with the expressive possibilities of the plastic material used.
This material fascinates with its typical advantages. The characteristics can best be described in the following words, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately in words. Therefore, the sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in slightly varying detail: .
The scale
The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical and on average narrower. 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 inner bore.
For which musical styles can the instrument be best used?
Plastic is ideal for instruments that are used in all styles.
Who is this recorder aimed at
This means that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes learning progress more enjoyable than a poor-quality one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of a recorder's sound production.
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 response and sound of the instrument. The windway of the Kulossa MRA-1B-TA-KUL instrument is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Kulossa MRA-1B-TA-KUL model is supplied in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The number of components in a woodwind instrument has a fundamental influence on the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of assembly and compact transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Just ask veteran ensemble leaders.
Packaging and accessories
The model is supplied as standard with a bag and the following accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is rented out frequently, we recommend that you clean the blowing area sterilely at regular intervals for your own protection.
The care product Flautisept has proven itself for this purpose. You can find Flautisept in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Glazed surfaces, waxed surfaces, spirit-stained surfaces, linseed oil surfaces, untreated wooden surfaces, ABS plastics, RESONA, varnished surfaces
However, before using Fautisept, test it on an inconspicuous area 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 on the instrument that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, tone holes on low instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.
The MRA-1B-TA-KUL instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played with ease by players with smaller hands.

What kind of music is the recorder best suited for?
Plastic is predestined for instruments that are used in all styles.
Who is this recorder aimed at
This means that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. A second basic rule is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning easier than an instrument of inferior quality.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis for the sound production of a recorder, and the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from the sheet of air at the labium. The shape of the windway is therefore very influential for the musical expressiveness of the instrument.
