Browse and Buy Top-Quality Kung Recorders

Price and looks are secondary to how an instrument actually performs. Kung recorders have been the choice of musicians since 1938 for tonal stability and effortless blending. Based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Kung recorders are crafted with precision, careful wood selection, and a finish designed to age gracefully with your playing style.

At Orpheus Music, we curate Kung recorders for consort performance, rehearsal durability, and Australian climate conditions. Our selection prioritises stability, response, and musical integrity over time, offering instruments suited for both solo and ensemble contexts.

What Makes Kung Recorders Distinct

Kung recorders are defined by structural precision and tonal refinement, preserving stable intonation across registers while maintaining flexibility for ensemble blending.

Key Design Characteristics

  • Carefully graduated bore design for even response across all registers.
  • Tonewood selected for tonal purpose rather than appearance alone.
  • Consistent craftsmanship across soprano, alto, tenor, and bass voices.

Material Options

  • Cherrywood – depth in the lower register.
  • Pearwood – balanced, warm ensemble tone.
  • Plumwood – warmth and expressive nuance for solo repertoire.
