Engelberger Fünftonflute 440 Hz with recessed grip

General informationThe

recorder from the Engelberger five-tone flute series with the model designation: 50011 built by Paetzold by Kunath is an instrument that is always fun to play, both in class and on stage

. This is due to

the carefully considered marriage of the ingenious model design in symbiosis with the sound characteristics of the pearwood material used

. The characteristics can be characterized in such a way, whereby it lies in the nature of the thing that sounds can be described always only insufficiently with words. Therefore the typical sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person in the details:

The

geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is cylindrical and wider. In
principle, recorders with a further bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more ensembleable than instruments with a narrower bore.
For

which musical styles can the flute be used?

Pearwood is predestined for instruments used in jazz, folk, dance songs and popular music

.

Another general rule is that in most cases a more demanding instrument makes learning easier than a simple one.

the wind tunnel of a recorderThe

wind tunnel is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air of the musician is formed into an air blade.

This air leaf is the basis of the sound of the instrument and in interaction with the labium, the air leaf generates the fundamental oscillation that generates the sound of the flute. The shape of the wind tunnel is therefore very relevant for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the recorder.

The model
50011
by Paetzold by Kunath has a wind tunnel which is straight and very narrow cylindrical. Conically shaped wind tunnels accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones.

used in

by well-known teachers for adolescent players,

but even adult players with small hands enjoy the advantages of the Without.

The construction methodThe

structural design with regard to the multi-part nature of a musical instrument fundamentally shapes the way in which the flute can be used, on the one hand, easy to assemble and, on the other hand, comfortable to transport.

A point that becomes particularly important when transporting larger or more instruments
. Experienced ensemble players can sing a song about it.

Packaging and accessoriesThe

instrument comes standard with a bag and matching accessories: If the flute

is

used by several players, it makes sense to clean the beak area sterilely if necessary for your own protection. For comfortable but safe cleaning, the Flautisept product has proven itself.
