Product information "Sub great bass recorder "HP-Original", Master, special finish, Paetzold by Kunath"
General information
The instrument from the MASTER series with the model designation: 479-SL manufactured by Paetzold by Kunath is a musical tool that can generate joy of playing in the classroom as well as on stage.
This special feature is largely due to the special combination of the above-average instrument model in combination with the advantages of the birch plywood material used.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is cylindrical and wider. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.
What music can the instrument be best used for
Birch plywood is predestined for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as solo instruments.Who is this instrument aimed at?
The above facts show that birch plywood recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. A rule of thumb worth noting is that in most cases, a higher-quality instrument makes music-making less complicated than a simple one.The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air 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, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the musical formability of the achievable sounds of the recorder.
The 479-SL instrument from Paetzold by Kunath has a windway that is straight and conical.Conical windways accelerate the air more than cylindrically shaped ones.
Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Paetzold by Kunath MASTER 479-SL instrument is manufactured in the following style: Baroque fingering.
Keys
It is not always possible to drill the tone holes in places in the body that are comfortable to reach with the fingers. For acoustic reasons, some of the tone holes on larger recorders in particular are located in positions that are ergonomically difficult to reach. On these instruments, the instrument makers fit mechanisms that make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.The 479-SL instrument has the following keys: Paetzold full folding. This means that it can also be played with ease by players with smaller hands. This key mechanism is unique and legally protected. Especially in Korea and Taiwan, these recorders are often used in youth ensembles by leading teachers for adolescent players.
But even alto players with a reduced grip range of the hands no longer want to miss the advantages of the Paetzold full-folding mechanism once they have used it.
Construction method
The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument determines in many ways the way in which the recorder can be easily assembled and transported during use.
This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are to be taken along.
Leaders of large playing groups will agree with us.
Packaging and accessories
The model is supplied as standard with an optional bag/case and useful accessories: grease tin, fingering chart, care instructionsHygiene tips
If the recorder is lent out again and again, it is advisable to sterilise the headjoint at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases. The care product Flautisept has proved its worth in such cases. Flautisept is available in our collection.Recommendations for finding a new instrument
