Engelberger five-tone flute 440 Hz with fingering cradles
Product information "Engelberger five-tone flute 440 Hz with fingering cradles"
The Engelberg five-tone recorder is a pentatonic recorder which, by concentrating on just five notes, places the individual tone at the centre of the musical experience. The idea is this: Only when every single note is played beautifully can the melody unfold its musical magic.
The scale (the inner bore)
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is cylindrical and wider than that of other soprano instruments. 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.
Who is the instrument aimed at?
The Engelberg five-tone recorder is used in Waldorf kindergartens, Waldorf schools and other independent schools.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's blowing air is moulded into an air blade. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound and, in combination with the labium, the sheet of air creates the fundamental 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 model 50011 from Kunath Instrumentenbau has a windway that is straight and very narrowly cylindrical. This makes the sound delicate and floating.
Fingering
The Engelberger five-tone recorder 50011 is supplied in the version Pentatonic.
