Product information "Sub-bass recorder "Direct-Blow", Master, special finish, Paetzold by Kunath"
General information
The instrument from the MASTER series with the model number: 479DB-SL manufactured by Paetzold by Kunath is a musical tool that provides tireless fun when making music.
This is due to the carefully considered combination of the outstanding construction concept in symbiosis with the sound characteristics of the birch plywood material used.
The scale
The inner bore of the instrument is cylindrical and wider. 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.
For which musical styles can the instrument be best used?
Birch plywood is particularly suitable for instruments used in folk music and for beginners playing the recorder.Who is the instrument aimed at?
It follows from the above that instruments made of birch plywood are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A basic rule is that in most cases a better quality instrument makes playing music less complicated than a poor quality one.The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the musician's breath 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 vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the sound and response of the recorder.
The 479DB-SL instrument from Paetzold by Kunath has a windway that is straight and conical.Conical windways accelerate the air more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters interact.
Fingering
The Paetzold by Kunath MASTER 479DB-SL recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque fingering.
Keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body that are comfortable and easy to reach with the fingers. Particularly with bass recorders, tone holes are located in positions that are ergonomically inconvenient to reach for tuning reasons. On these instruments, keys are fitted to the instrument makers to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.The 479DB-SL instrument has the following keys: Paetzold full folding. This allows the recorder to be played with ease even by players with smaller hands. This type of key is unique and legally protected. In Asia in particular, these instruments are often used in youth ensembles by leading teachers for adolescent players.
But even adult players with a reduced grip range of the hands no longer want to miss the advantages of the Paetzold full key once they have played it.
Multiple parts
The number of individual parts of a musical instrument characterises in many ways the way in which the recorder is used, on the one hand, to enable uncomplicated handling in terms of easy assembly and, on the other, compact transport.
This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.

If the recorder is used by several players, it is advisable to repeatedly disinfect the headjoint to keep it clean. Flautisept has proven to be a good disinfectant. Flautisept is available in our collection.Recommendations on the way to a new recorder
