With no finger holes, the koncovka produces notes solely through overblowing and manipulating the lower opening, resulting in a sound that is both intimate and expressive. The available articulations include short notes, long notes, and various dynamic effects, allowing for a versatile performance experience.

Recorded at Synchron Stage Vienna, the instrument benefits from multiple microphone positions, providing options for both close and ambient captures.
