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. Fingering The Paetzold by Kunath 469HPK-PBK instrument is supplied in the following fingering: . Construction method The construction of a recorder strongly influences the way in which it can be handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other.
