Aulos, tenor in c', baroque double hole, plastic
The recorder with the article number: 211A-AUL from the Aulos workshop is a musical tool that is always fun to play. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful combination of the pioneering construction concept in fine tuning with the sound characteristics of the material used. The material used for this instrument is strikingly fascinating due to its typical material qualities. The special characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. This is why the sound of a recorder is perceived and described differently by each person: . The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is . 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 used best? is particularly suitable for recorders focussing on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible. Who the instrument is aimed at This means that instruments from are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule to bear in mind is that a better quality instrument will naturally enhance learning progress more than a supposedly cheap one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is the central starting point of the instrument's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely important for the musical formability of the instrument's achievable sounds. The windway of the 211A-AUL instrument from Aulos is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are naturally very complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Aulos 211A-AUL model is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction of the body The number of individual parts of a musical instrument has a fundamental influence on the way in which the recorder can be handled easily and transported safely during daily use. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders.
