KUNATH Engelberg F³ntonfl÷te 440 Hz grip

The Engelberg Five-Note Recorder has been designed especially for beginner instrumentalists. The dimensions of the windway differ somewhat from the design of traditional recorders without losing or restricting the possibility of clear articulation.

Nowadays, sadly, articulation is very often neglected, even though it has been known for a long time that it is tone that makes music. What does a melody sound like if it consists of nothing but equally feebly blown notes? Even our language is alive because of the colors of articulation. When we tell fairy tales to our children, we use all the different shades of language to draw our little listeners into the story. If music is to be alive in children, it is important that they can really feel it.

At an age when children have already learned to articulate sounds through language, this ability should be used in, and developed through music. Therefore, we paid enormous attention to the possibility of free and broad articulation in the development and making of each instrument. As the Engelberg Five Note Recorder has been designed especially for beginners, we deliberately limited its range to concentrate on basic technique during lessons. Its limited range encourages children to look for short, well-tuned and appealing melodies.

The tonal range consists of the 5 notes d,e,g,a and b which can be played using the four tone holes.The instrument is made of seasoned pearwood. The shape is designed to create a harmonious balance of light weight and sturdiness.

Oiled Pearwood.

Range: D5, E5, G5, A5, B5

With the instrument are delivered:

• fingering chart

• wooden cleaning rod with cloth

• cotton bag

• small finger cups, which show the children where to place the fingers not used for the five tone recorder.
