By 1938 the small firm made the decision to concentrate on recorders of the highest quality. Nine decades later, the workshop is still controlled by the Kueng family. Franz's grandson Stefan is the director and in charge of all production. And they're still in the same house, on Grabenstrasse, that Franz purchased in 1933. We've sold a few of these superb instruments for several years and note that Kueng instruments seem to us to improve a bit each vintage. As for their current production, think "finest-quality Swiss wristwatch, only in a recorder". As with many wind instrument makers, Kueng offers a number of different models. We quite like their "Superio" instruments, especially the alto and tenor. Reasonably priced, intonation that's perfect at 442(pull out the head 2mm if you prefer 440...), elegant and beautiful. Perfection!*** A good client asked us, last month, to "special order" an olive-wood Kueng alto for her. I was so impressed with the instrument that I decided to always keep a few of them in our inventory. *** The tone-color a bit more feminine, gorgeous, and silky. Highly recommended! Wonderful and full lower register. No "burbles!"***Questions about recorders? Write me! I've played alto recorder and baroque flute for more than five decades and can give you advice about almost anything. I played recorder and flute with the "Oakland Avenue Baroque Ensemble" for more than a decade, performed every trio-sonata known to mankind. Or so it seemed. Not a pro-group, of course....enthusiastic amateurs!*** BEFORE WE SEND ANYTHING TO YOU…The instrument is carefully inspected by us to make certain it’s spotlessly clean. We disinfect the exterior of the instrument, spray the exterior of the case as well. We do not send anything to you without it’s being checked and then checked again.
