    I think the Superio has a fuller tone but that is a biased opinion. I have a Superio tenor in pear wood and love the thing to death. It is my main go to recorder. Thank you for the comparison!

      Not a biased opinion, the Superio is fuller. It has a more solid core to the sound and beautiful overtones.

    I'm surprised by how different these two tenors sound. I love the sound of the Kung Superio especially on the lower notes - think I'd better learn the Tenor!

    You’re Back‼️👍
    It’s been a while since your last video..🤔
    (I hope you’re feeling well 😬🤞)
    I think your performance was great..👏
    Personally, I liked the Superio model.
    The color looks nice and the sound was more rich..🤗 The other model sounded a bit “leaky”….(I’m not sure if that’s a correct description..??). Thanks again for your videos‼️

      Yes, I am good thank you. Yes, I agree the superio has a richer sound with a more solid core to the sound and the studio is more breathy. I'm still very impressed wth it for the price though.

    Thanks for the video! My main recorder is a Kung Studio tenor in pear wood, and at some point I'm planning on getting a Kung Superio tenor, so this was a very interesting comparison for me. On my Studio, I notice that the low D sharp and C sharp are rather weak notes. Sounds like there's a fuller sound down low on the Superio.

      I have the Superio and it definitely has good volume on the low C, C#, and D. D# seems rather quiet, but I haven't finished playing mine in yet; hoping it'll get better.

    • @arwenacoustic795

      I really like the studio in its own right, but yes, the Superio is definitely more focused in sound and a keyed tenor will have stronger low notes than a Keyless one.

      @@brandonpieplow9207 All recorders improve with playing in but low D# is a half holed note, perhaps it will have its limitations. There is a key for low D# on the Kung superio great bass, easy for clarinet players to get to grips with as in the same place as the D# key on clarinet.

    How long does it take for your olivewood superior to darken to such gorgeous colour?

    • @arwenacoustic795
      @arwenacoustic795  4 місяці тому

      I think that was a darker batch of olive than they are using now but it has darkened over time. It is about 15 years since I bought it. If you like that colour, keep an eye out for second-hand models perhaps 🙂

    Very beautiful recorders! Do the keys in the superio take away the flexibility to play the lowest notes?

    • @arwenacoustic795
      @arwenacoustic795  6 місяців тому +1

      The Kung keys I find very ergonomic. Easy to slur upwards C ---> C# but you would be hard pressed to slur downwards from low C# to low C
