Paetzold by Kunath, "Master", "Direct Blow", subcontrabass in F, 442 Hz, black lacquered, birch sticks
€10,620.00*
The instrument with the article number 489DB-AS-PBK of the "Master" model series from the Paetzold by Kunath workshop is a subcontrabass recorder that can generate tireless playing pleasure in daily use.
This characteristic is largely due to the skilful marriage of the ingenious instrument model in combination with the advantages of the birch plywood material used.
The material used for this instrument is strikingly fascinating due to its special sound characteristics. The features can be characterised in this way, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. Therefore, the sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in slightly varying detail: Birch plywood: Carrying but soft sound.
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument 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?
Birch plywood is ideal for recorders that are used for the following styles: All styles.
Who is the instrument aimed at?
It follows that birch plywood recorders are particularly suitable for students and professional players. Another important rule of thumb is that a more sophisticated instrument will naturally make playing more enjoyable than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound production.
At the labium, the leaf of air produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extraordinarily influential
for the recorder's ability to create music. The windway of the instrument 489DB-AS-PBK from Paetzold by Kunath is constructed as follows: Straight, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters interact.

Construction method
