Küng 1403 Studio Alto Recorder

I decided to purchase this alto as I already have it's bigger sister, the tenor in the same Cherry wood. What struck me after receiving, was the wood grain. My tenor is a beauty, but the wood grain, even though both Cherry, the alto is really striking with the grain pattern.
Just like it's bigger sister, it has a wonderful rounded warm tone. It plays with ease across the whole register, and projects perfectly with the wide bore.
Kung recorders, in my opinion are right up there with the other big names and should not be over looked. I've paid vast amounts more for others, yet it is always my Kung recorders that I pick up first.
