Küng, "STUDIO", Garklein in c''', maple
US$149.00*
The recorder with the article number: 1102-KUE manufactured by Küng is a musical tool that provides tireless fun in daily use.
The instrument owes this mainly to the special combination of the unique model in symbiosis with the qualities of the maple material used.
The material fascinates with its typical sound characteristics. The special features can be characterised as follows: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear wood.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. 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.
For which musical styles can the instrument be best used?
Maple is predestined for instruments that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.
Who this instrument is aimed at
This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. An additional general rule of thumb is that a more sophisticated instrument generally makes playing together more enjoyable than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the instrument'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
one of the basic characteristics
for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the recorder. The windway of the Küng model 1102-KUE is shaped as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Küng 1102-KUE recorder is offered in the following fingering: Baroque single hole.
Multi-part fingering
The construction of a woodwind instrument with multiple parts strongly influences the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of grip and safe transport during daily use. This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported.
