"Bressan by Blezinger", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, 442 Hz, Brazilian boxwood stained

The instrument with the article number: 212BUD-BLE by Stephan Blezinger is a companion that provides tireless playing pleasure. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful combination of the unique model design with the expressive possibilities of the boxwood material used. This material makes a strikingly pleasant impression on the instrument thanks to its unique advantages. The special properties can be characterised as follows: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument 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 inner bore. What music can the recorder be used for? Boxwood is particularly suitable for instruments that specialise in baroque music, other styles are also possible. Who is this recorder aimed at? It follows from this that boxwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second basic rule worth noting is that a better quality instrument generally makes learning progress less complicated than a poor quality one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements in the sound production of a recorder. The vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade at the labium. 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 model 212BUD-BLE by Stephan Blezinger 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 design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Stephan Blezinger 212BUD-BLE recorder is supplied with the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Multi-piece construction The construction of a recorder has a strong influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the appropriate accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the recorder is lent out frequently, it is advisable to sterilise the windway at regular intervals to keep it clean. Flautisept has proven to be a good cleaning agent. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: ABS plastics, linseed oil surfaces, waxed surfaces, varnished surfaces, untreated wooden surfaces, spirit-stained surfaces, RESONA, varnished surfaces However, it is essential that you test the product 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 on the instrument that are easy and comfortable to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place. The 212BUD-BLE instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played ergonomically well by players with smaller hands. Advice for finding a new recorder How to find your new instrument easily Ask people you know! However, don't let prevailing opinions put you off testing an instrument yourself. Your musical perception is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide for yourself which wind tunnel shape appeals to you personally. Our recommendation is therefore: play new designs that you have not yet tried out.

Kulossa MRS-1B, soprano in c', baroque fingering, 3-piece, plastic, translucent

The instrument with the model designation: MRS-1B-T-KUL built by Kulossa is a musical tool that creates lasting fun when making music. This feature is largely due to the clever combination of the unique design in fine tuning with the advantages of the plastic material used. The material used for this instrument is strikingly appealing thanks to its exceptional sound characteristics. The properties 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 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. What music is the recorder best suited to? Plastic is particularly suitable for recorders that are used in. Who is the instrument aimed at? From the above facts, it is clear that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule to bear in mind is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning more enjoyable than a simple one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is one of the most important elements in the sound production of a recorder. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the instrument's ability to create music. The windway of the Kulossa MRS-1B-T-KUL model is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are naturally complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Kulossa MRS-1B-T-KUL recorder is offered in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction method The number of components in a recorder has a fundamental influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument is handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and compact transport on the other. This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported. Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and the appropriate accessories: Wiper rod, fingering chart Hygiene tips If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to clean the windway sterilely if necessary to prevent the transmission of diseases.

Küng, "Marsyas", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, Castello Buchs

The instrument with the model designation: 4313-MAR manufactured by Marsyas is an instrument that provides tireless fun in daily use. This is due to the skilful combination of the special model design in symbiosis with the qualities of the boxwood material used. The material fascinates with its extraordinary sound characteristics. The characteristics can be roughly described as follows, although 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: Boxwood: powerful, high-pitched sound,. The scale The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. 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 Boxwood is predestined for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who is the instrument aimed at? It follows that boxwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A general rule of thumb is that a better instrument naturally makes it easier to make music than what at first glance appears to be a cheaper option. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the recorder head where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the defining element of the instrument's sound. In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound.

The recorder with the model designation: 4307-MAR from the Marsyas workshop is a musical tool that is a joy to play every day. The instrument owes this special feature mainly to the clever marriage of the ingenious design in combination with the tone colours of the grenadilla material used. The material fascinates with its typical sound characteristics. The characteristics can best be described in the following words: Grenadilla: Clear, powerful sound rich in overtones. Very strong. 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 inner bore.

The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the recorder's sound production. In combination with the labium, this sheet of air creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely relevant for the recorder's range of musical expression. The windway of the Marsyas 4307-MAR recorder is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are naturally very complex in their geometric design and many parameters play together. Fingering The Marsyas 4307-MAR recorder is made in the fingering: Baroque double hole. Multi-piece construction The construction of a recorder with multiple parts strongly influences the way in which the woodwind instrument is used, on the one hand making it easy to grip and on the other hand enabling it to be transported safely. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Directors of recorder orchestras know how useful good and compact recorder cases are. Provided the instruments can be disassembled into small pieces.

This material stands out in the instrument due to its special advantages. The special characteristics can be summarised as follows: Pear wood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group. The scale 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. What music can the instrument be used for Birnbaum is ideal for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who is the instrument aimed at? It follows from the above that pearwood recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another generally applicable rule is that a better quality instrument generally makes learning progress more enriching than a poor one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of a recorder's sound.

Küng, "Marsyas", soprano in c'', baroque double hole, plum

The instrument with the model designation: 4304-MAR, manufactured by Marsyas, is a musical tool that provides tireless fun when making music. The instrument owes this fact mainly to the clever marriage of the unique design in symbiosis with the qualities of the plum wood (Prunus) used. The special qualities of the material used for this instrument are very pleasing. The special features can be described as follows: Prunus, plum, damson: overtone-rich, slightly nasal sound. Goes very well with singing voices. The scale The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. 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. For which music can the instrument best be used Plum wood (Prunus) is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as a solo instrument. Who is this recorder aimed at? It follows from this that instruments made from plum wood (Prunus) are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule is that a high-quality instrument usually makes learning easier than a seemingly inexpensive bargain. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is the nucleus of the instrument's sound. The vibration that generates the flute sound originates from this air blade at the labium.
