KUNG SUPERIO RANGE:

The KUNG family of recorders feature two ranges: their elite SUPERIO range for true professionals and experts, and the STUDIO range, in the moderate price bracket.

The finest instruments in the World

Superio recorders

The soprano, alto and tenor recorders in this range are for soloists. The sound is rich in overtones and clear. They are dynamic and most appropriate for musical forming. The excellence of the bass, greatbass and Subbass for ensemble and orchestra is unquestioned.

Listen to World renowned Maurice STEGER. He plays the instruments below, in 'TINO FLAUTINO' - a fairytail for children. He plays together with the 'Orchestra of the Musikkollegium Winterthur', under Mark Kissoczy.

KUNG STUDIO RANGE

STUDIO RECORDERS

The Studio recorders: from garklein to tenor. A warm sound that combines well. The sopranos have a wonderful sound, are not problematic to use and are particularly suitable as the treble in an ensemble. They are very suitable as a recorder for all ages of beginners. The altos have an extraordinarily strong and clear sound. Tenor recorders have a deep tone and are comfortable to hold, thanks to the closely arranged finger holes. The angled tenor is particularly appreciated by players of small stature. The sopraninos in f" have that very special sound.

PLAYING IN WOOD, YOU WILL CHANGE FOREVER.

 

 

RONDO RANGE

From the Moeck Archives, Germany:

Although plastic has many advantages, it cannot replace the quality of wood. No plastic in the world can compete with the exquisite properties wood has, such as the different sound characteristics a wooden instrument can produce or its capacity for damp absorption. One should take into consideration that children are very capable of discerning differences in sonic sound quality, a skill the teacher should definitely take special care to cultivate.
