Paetzold by Kunath, "Master", "Direct-Blow" head for great bass recorders, natural birch plywood
€1,520.00*
The instrument with the model number 459DBK-PBK from the "Master" model series manufactured by Paetzold by Kunath is a musical tool that provides lasting playing pleasure.
This special feature is largely due to the clever combination of the pioneering model with the advantages of the birch plywood material used.
The special sound characteristics of this instrument are strikingly impressive. The characteristics can be roughly described as follows, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of a recorder is perceived and described in slightly different ways by different people: Birch plywood: Carrying but soft sound.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is cylindrical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.
What music can the recorder be used for?
Birch plywood is ideal for recorders that are used for these styles of music: All styles.
Who is this instrument aimed at
This means that instruments made of birch plywood are particularly suitable for students and professional players. Another rule of thumb is that a more sophisticated instrument generally makes learning less complicated than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of a recorder's sound.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extraordinarily influential
for the artistic usability of the recorder. The windway of the 459DBK-PBK instrument from Paetzold by Kunath is shaped as follows: Straight, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters interact.

The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the nucleus of the instrument's sound.
At the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute tone is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining principles
for influencing the possible sounds of the recorder. The windway of the Kobliczek model 738AHD-KOB is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Kobliczek 738AHD-KOB model is made in the following fingering: Renaissance fingering.
Construction of the body
The number of individual parts of a recorder has a strong influence on the way in which it can be handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Directors of recorder orchestras know how useful good and compact recorder bags are. Provided the instruments can be disassembled into small pieces.
Packaging and accessories
The model is supplied as standard with optional packaging and useful accessories: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, wiper rod, spike, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the instrument is borrowed frequently, it is advisable to sterilise the headjoint at regular intervals to maintain cleanliness.

The inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.
What music can the recorder be used for?
RESONA plastic is particularly suitable for recorders that are used for All styles.
Who is this recorder aimed at
This means that recorders made from RESONA plastic are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another generally applicable rule is that a high-quality instrument will in most cases make playing together more enriching than a cheap one.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of the instrument's sound.
In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely important
for influencing the sound of the instrument. The windway of the Paetzold by Kunath 25DB-SL-PBK recorder is shaped as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters interact.
Fingering
The Paetzold by Kunath 25DB-SL-PBK model is made in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Multi-piece construction
The number of components of a recorder fundamentally influences the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled easily in terms of ease of grip and safe transport. This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported.
