Sun recorder 440 Hz with fingering cradles

Product information "Sun recorder 440 Hz with fingering cradles"

The pitch standard of a = 440 Hz makes the instrument suitable for fixed-tuned instruments such as pianos and mallet instruments. One of the best-selling 7-tone pentatonic recorders.

The scale

The inner bore of the recorder is cylindroconical and slightly wider than normal soprano (descant) recorders.
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.

Who is this recorder aimed at?

School classes in Waldorf schools, Montessori schools or early music education.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute's sound is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the musical formability of the achievable sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the sun recorder is 30% narrower than the usual width for soprano instruments. This results in the delicate sound.

The sun recorder has a straight and very narrow cylindrical windway.

Quietly, quietly listen up five-tone songs
144 pages. The children's songs in this pentatonic songbook have been written for the Engelberg five-tone flute. They are suitable for young children up to the 2nd or 3rd school year, i.e. up to the time when Rudolf Steiner recommended the transition from the pentatonic to the major-minor element. This songbook promotes early musical education in a child-friendly way, which can easily be enriched with elements of eurythmy and theatre play. Of course, other instruments can also be used. These songs are particularly suitable for kindergartens and young children, but the class teacher of a 1st and 2nd grade will also find a number of useful songs for singing or recorder. "At a time when the mass media and electronic influence have long since found their way into our children's rooms, a work like this cannot be valued highly enough." (B. Mrohs in the "Erziehungskunst")Foreword by Norbert Thomsen on teaching with pentatonic recorders.The songs are divided intoseasonsMorning and evening songsprayersanimal songs circle games Form walking Fairy talesSongs to stories Elementalselements
