Paetzold by Kunath, "Master", "HP-Original" head for double bass recorders, natural birch plywood
€2,310.00*
The sub-bass / double bass recorder with the model designation 469HPK-PBK from the "Master" series manufactured by Paetzold by Kunath is an instrument that is always fun to play.
This characteristic is largely due to the clever marriage of the above-average model design in combination with the tone colours of the birch plywood material used.
The material used for this instrument is characterised by its special sound characteristics. The special properties can be characterised as follows: Birch plywood: A carrying but soft sound.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is cylindrical. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower scale.
What music can the instrument be used for
Birch plywood is predestined for recorders that are used for these styles of music: All styles.
Who is this recorder aimed at?
It follows from this that instruments made of birch plywood are particularly suitable for students and professional players. Another rule of thumb to bear in mind is that, in most cases, a high-quality instrument makes music-making more enjoyable than a simple one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the defining element of the instrument's sound.
In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for the response and sound of the recorder. The windway of the instrument 469HPK-PBK from Paetzold by Kunath is constructed as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters influence each other.

Paetzold by Kunath, "Solo", "Direct-Blow" contrabass recorder in f', 442 Hz, RESONA plastic
€4,760.00*
The sub-bass / double bass recorder with the article number 26DB-AS-PBK from the "SOLO" series made by Paetzold by Kunath is a companion that provides tireless fun making music in daily use.
This characteristic is largely due to the special combination of the outstanding construction concept in combination with the sound characteristics of the RESONA plastic material used.
The material used for this instrument is characterised by its special sound characteristics. The characteristics can best be described in the following words: RESONA: Full and clear sound. Warm and carrying.
The scale
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 inner bore.
For which musical styles is the recorder best suited?
RESONA plastic is ideal for instruments used in these areas: All styles.
Who is this recorder aimed at
It follows that instruments made of RESONA plastic are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning easier than an inexpensive one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of a recorder's sound production.
In combination with the labium, this sheet of air creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute's sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the basic characteristics
for influencing the available sounds of the recorder. The windway of the Paetzold by Kunath model 26DB-AS-PBK is constructed as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Paetzold by Kunath 26DB-AS-PBK recorder is offered in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.
Multi-part construction
The construction of a recorder has an extraordinary influence on the way in which it is used, on the one hand making it easy to grip and on the other hand making it convenient to transport. A point that becomes particularly important when larger or multiple instruments are taken along.
Just ask veteran ensemble leaders.
Packaging and accessories
Recorders in the SOLO model series are supplied as standard with a bag with rucksack function and the following accessories: Cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart
Things to know about connecting the instrument parts
Paetzold by Kunath recorders can be assembled easily and without great effort. This is due to the special design of the joint between the instrument parts.
The double seal developed by Paetzold by Kunath creates a form-fit and airtight connection between the individual parts of the instrument, which stands out pleasantly from the mass of sluggish tenon joints due to its ease of movement.
This makes Paetzold by Kunath sub-bass / double bass instruments some of the easiest recorders to assemble.
Care of the double seal
To prevent the double seals from being damaged during storage, red protective caps are included with the sub-bass / double bass recorder.
You should always usethese protective caps when storing the instrument in its packaging.
Then you will be able to enjoy your recorder for a long time.
Double seals do not need to be greased.
Hygiene tips
If the instrument is shared, it is advisable to clean the blowing area sterilely at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases.

However, it is essential that you test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any unwanted marks on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place tone holes in places that are easy to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing considerably easier or even possible in the first place.

€4,850.00*
The recorder with the model name: 740AHD-KOB manufactured by Kobliczek is a musical tool that provides tireless fun when making music.
This characteristic is due to the thoughtful marriage of the sophisticated instrument model in combination with the advantages of the maple material used.
The material used for this instrument is strikingly pleasing due to its typical sound characteristics. The special 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 recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is cylindrical. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower inner bore.
What music can the instrument be used for
Maple is particularly suitable for instruments focussing on Renaissance and folk music, other styles are possible.
Who is the instrument aimed at?
It follows that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes playing together more enriching than a simple one.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound of a recorder.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for influencing the sounds that can be produced by the recorder. The windway of the Kobliczek 740AHD-KOB instrument is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Kobliczek 740AHD-KOB instrument is made in the fingering style: Renaissance fingering.
Multipart fingering
The construction of a musical instrument with multiple parts has a strong influence on the way in which the recorder is easy to handle in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and convenient to transport on the other. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Just ask veteran ensemble managers.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder is supplied as standard with optional packaging and the appropriate accessories: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, wiper stick, spike, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is played by several people, it is advisable to always clean the blowing area sterilely for your own protection.

AVANTGARDE can now be ordered at a special price.
Avantgarde will be sold at the regular price from 1 July 2024.
General informationSince 2007, the Kunath Instrumentenbau workshop has been producing parts for woodwind instruments using a special
special 3D printing process.The primary goal was to use a material that sounds like wood and is made from renewable raw materials.
As there was no material on the market that met these requirements, the team at Kunath Instrumentenbau, with the support of the
Ministry of Science and Research, developed its own material: RESONA. Renowned artists such as Dorothee Oberlinger and composers such as Josh Plotner use instruments made of
instruments made from RESONA for live concerts and studio
studio recordings.Since 2022, Kunath Instrumentenbau has been producing more electricity in its own solar systems than the company needs annually.
The machines that prepare the material for printing and the 3D printers run 24 hours a day. At night, they are supplied with temporarily stored solar power from a 100 kWh battery.For these and many other reasons
Avantgarde is considered the new benchmark for
sub-bass recorders.Overblowing keyHerbert Paetzold invented the automatic overblowing key over 40 years ago.
With Avantgarde, we are making this
practical mechanism for the first time on a "non-square" bass recorder.The special advantages of the overblowing key:
Firstly, it creates a more relaxed posture for the left hand,
the thumb can move closer to the position of the other fingers.
Secondly, the overblowing key makes it easier to play high notes and octave leaps.
A small movement of the tip of the thumb is enough to reliably activate the overblow hole.Video about the overblowing keyScale
The inner bore of the recorder is cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its powerful sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower inner bore.
CapAs RESONA is extremely dimensionally stable, AVANTGARDE recorders do not suffer from jamming of the cap due to moisture. To ensure undisturbed airflow between the blowing tube, cap and windway in the head, AVANTGARDE has a new type of connection between cap and head. The cap is perfectly fitted or removed with just half a turn.Video about the Quickfit capWhat styles of music can the recorder be used for?
RESONA is predestined for all styles.Avantgarde is 40% lighter than normal sub-bass recorders because it is made from RESONA in a 3D printing process optimised for musical instruments.

The sound of these printed instruments is compared by professional players to that of Kirschbaum.Who is this recorder aimed at?
Avantgarde is aimed at amateurs, semi-professionals and professional players.Windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the defining element of a recorder's sound.
At the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
very influential
for the artistic usability of the recorder. The model 6605-072 from Kunath Instrumentenbau has a windway that is curved and conical in shape.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are naturally very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The AVANTGARDE 6605-072 recorder is supplied in the following fingering: Baroque fingering.
Keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body of the instrument that are easy to reach with the hands. For tuning reasons, tone holes on low instruments in particular are located in positions that are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, key mechanisms are fitted that make playing considerably easier or even possible in the first place.Six rollers make it particularly easy to play double keys.

General informationSince 2007, the Kunath Instrumentenbau workshop has been producing parts for woodwind instruments using a special
special 3D printing process.The primary goal was to use a material that sounds like wood and is made from renewable raw materials.
As there was no material on the market that met these requirements, the team at Kunath Instrumentenbau, with the support of the
Ministry of Science and Research, developed its own material: RESONA. Renowned artists such as Dorothee Oberlinger and composers such as Josh Plotner use instruments made of
instruments made from RESONA for live concerts and studio
studio recordings.Since 2022, Kunath Instrumentenbau has been producing more electricity in its own solar systems than the company needs annually.
The machines that prepare the material for printing and the 3D printers run 24 hours a day. At night, they are supplied with temporarily stored solar power from a 100 kWh battery.For these and many other reasons
Avantgarde is considered the new benchmark for
sub-bass recorders.Overblowing keyHerbert Paetzold invented the automatic overblowing key over 40 years ago.
With Avantgarde, we are making this
practical mechanism for the first time on a "non-square" bass recorder.The special advantages of the overblowing key:
Firstly, it creates a more relaxed posture for the left hand,
the thumb can move closer to the position of the other fingers.
Secondly, the overblowing key makes it easier to play high notes and octave leaps.
A small movement of the tip of the thumb is enough to reliably activate the overblowing hole.Video on YouTube about the overblowing key Scale
The inner bore of the recorder is cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its powerful sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower inner bore.
CapAs RESONA is extremely dimensionally stable, AVANTGARDE recorders do not suffer from jamming of the cap due to playing moisture. To ensure undisturbed airflow between the blowing tube, cap and windway in the head, AVANTGARDE has a new type of connection between cap and head. The cap is perfectly fitted or removed with just half a turn.Video about the Quickfit capWhat styles of music can the recorder be used for?
RESONA is predestined for all styles.Avantgarde is 40% lighter than normal sub-bass recorders because it is made from RESONA in a 3D printing process optimised for musical instruments.

Avantgarde is aimed at amateurs, semi-professionals and professional players.the windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the defining element of a recorder's sound.
At the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
very influential
for the artistic usability of the recorder. The model 6605-072-AS from Kunath Instrumentenbau has a windway that is curved and conical in shape.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are naturally very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The AVANTGARDE 6605-072-AS recorder is supplied in the following fingering: Baroque fingering.
Keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body of the instrument that are easy to reach with the hands. For tuning reasons, tone holes on low instruments in particular are located in positions that are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, key mechanisms are fitted that make playing considerably easier or even possible in the first place.Six rollers make it particularly easy to play double keys.
double keys particularly comfortable.
The key mechanism is made of brass.
Stand

The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the defining element of a recorder's sound.
The vibration that generates the flute sound originates from this air blade at the labium. The shape of the windway is therefore
very influential
for the musical expressiveness of the recorder. The windway of the instrument 469-PBK from Paetzold by Kunath is shaped as follows: Straight, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Paetzold by Kunath 469-PBK recorder is made in the fingering style: Baroque double hole.
Construction of the body
The construction of a musical instrument has a fundamental influence on the way in which the recorder can be handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and compact transport on the other. A point that becomes particularly important when larger or multiple instruments are taken along.
