Long blowing tube set, black, Paetzold by Kunath

This set consists of mouthpiece, blowing tube and drip-cup. Everything is new, everything fits together, and to all models of this voice type that have ever been built.

The description

Like the mouthpiece, the blowing tube is one of the parts of a woodwind instrument that directs the air into the tone-producing area.
The internal geometries are of decisive importance. The mouthpiece and blowing tube therefore have a strong influence on the response and sound of the instrument.

Material

93% of the blowing tubes with the article number 49-13-AS-K are made from climate-neutral and renewable materials. The remaining 7% are light-curing plastics, which are also used in dental technology.
The mouthpieces and drip-cups are made from POM. This material has food approval.

The use

There are three different sizes of blowing tube sets.

The development

The blowing tubes have undergone continuous further development. A particularly important development took place in March 2011. As the mouthpieces on the alto models did not sit firmly in the blowing tube due to the short mouthpiece spigot, parts were reworked.
The tenon of the mouthpieces was extended. This allowed a cork ring to be attached to the tenon. The blowing tubes were also redesigned so that the longer tenons did not interfere with the air flow in the blowing tube. They were given a step. You can easily recognise the new blowing tubes by this raised plateau.
