Paetzold by Kunath, "Solo", "HP Original" contrabass recorder in f', 442 Hz, RESONA plastic, nat
Herbert Paetzold's bass recorders have made history with their many small and unique details. The 3D-printed and linseed oil-treated 26-PBK adds another chapter to the story. The instrument is made from the RESONA material developed by Kunath Instrumentenbau, which is made from renewable raw materials. The double bass recorder (sub-bass recorder) 26 is treated with linseed oil inside and out. This means that the instrument does not require the usual varnishing. Conclusion: Sounds good, feels good and is good for the environment.

Paetzold by Kunath, "Solo", "HP Original" contrabass recorder in f', 442 Hz, RESONA plastic
The instrument with the model number 26-AS-PBK from the "SOLO" series from the Paetzold by Kunath workshop is a musical tool that is always fun to use in lessons and on stage. This characteristic is largely due to the masterful combination of the special construction concept with the sound characteristics of the RESONA plastic material used. This material impresses with the instrument's unique advantages. The special features can be characterised in this way, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described with words. This is why the sound of recorders is perceived and described in slightly different ways by each person: RESONA: Full and clear sound. Warm and carrying. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. 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 styles of music can the instrument be used for? RESONA plastic is ideal for instruments that are used for the following types of music: All styles. Who is the instrument aimed at? The above facts show that recorders made of RESONA plastic are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. One rule of thumb to bear in mind is that in most cases a higher quality instrument will make playing easier than a cheaper one. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the 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 extraordinarily influential for the variation possibilities of the available sound spectra of the instrument. The windway of the Paetzold by Kunath 26-AS-PBK instrument is shaped as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Paetzold by Kunath 26-AS-PBK recorder is made in the fingering style: Baroque double hole. Construction of the body The number of individual parts of an instrument strongly influences the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and compact transport on the other. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories Instruments in the SOLO model series are supplied as standard with a bag with rucksack function and the following accessories: Cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart Things to know about connecting the instrument parts Paetzold by Kunath recorders are easy to assemble without any special effort. This is due to the special design of the joint between the instrument parts. The double seal developed by Paetzold by Kunath creates a form-fit and airtight connection between the parts, which stands out from the mass of sluggish tenon joints thanks to its ease of movement. This makes Paetzold by Kunath sub-bass / double bass recorders the easiest instruments to assemble. Care of the double seal To prevent the double seals from being damaged during storage, red protective caps are included with the sub-bass / double bass recorder. You should always usethese protective caps when storing the instrument in its packaging. Then you will be able to enjoy your recorder for many years to come. Double seals do not need to be greased. Hygiene tips If the recorder is lent out again and again, it makes sense to sterilise the blowing area again and again to prevent the transmission of diseases. Flautisept has proven to be effective in such cases. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: RESONA, untreated wooden surfaces, varnished surfaces, waxed surfaces, varnished surfaces, linseed oil surfaces, ABS plastics, spirit-stained surfaces However, it is essential that you test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not cause any adverse changes to your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body that are easy to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on larger recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing considerably easier or even possible in the first place. The 26-AS-PBK instrument has the following keys: Full folding (Paetzold by Kunath). This means that it can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands. Notes on finding a new instrument How to find a new instrument easily Seek expert advice! However, under no circumstances should you let "generalised" rules stop you from playing a recorder yourself. Your taste is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which construction method appeals to you personally. Our recommendation is therefore: Try new instruments that you have never tested before. You will only gain new experiences.

Moeck, "Renaissance Consort", subbass in f, Renaissance fingering, 1.5 oct. range, maple stained
The recorder with the article number: 8721-MOE made by Moeck is a recorder that is fun to play every day. This characteristic is largely due to the skilful marriage of the outstanding instrument model in combination with the qualities of the maple material used. The special qualities of the material used for this instrument are remarkably pleasing. The special characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, each person will perceive and describe the details of the typical material sound of recorders slightly differently: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear wood. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical and wider on average. 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 Maple is excellently suited for instruments focussing on Renaissance and folk music, other styles are possible. Who is this instrument aimed at This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule worth noting is that a better instrument naturally makes learning progress more enriching than a supposedly cheaper one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the nucleus of a recorder's sound production. 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 main characteristics for the response and sound of the recorder. The windway of the 8721-MOE instrument from Moeck is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters play together. Fingering The Moeck 8721-MOE model is made in the fingering: Renaissance fingering. Multiple parts The way in which a recorder is constructed has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the woodwind instrument can be handled in terms of ease of assembly and compact transport. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments have to be transported. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart Hygiene tips If the recorder is played by several people, we recommend that you sterilise the beak area at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases. The disinfectant Flautisept has proven to be effective. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Glazed surfaces, varnished surfaces, RESONA, spirit-stained surfaces, ABS plastics, waxed surfaces, linseed oil surfaces, untreated wooden surfaces To be on the safe side, test Fautisept on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not cause discolouration on your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to place tone holes in places that are easy to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on larger recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place. The 8721-MOE instrument has the following keys: 1-fold foot key. This means that it can also be played by players with smaller hands. Recommendations for finding a new instrument How to easily find your next instrument Ask people you know! However, you should never let well-intentioned advice put you off playing an instrument yourself. Your musical perception is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide for yourself which instrument tempts you personally to "endless music-making". Our recommendation is therefore: Test unknown construction concepts that you have never tried before. You can't lose anything, you can only gain experience.

Paetzold by Kunath, "Master", "HP Original", double bass in F, 442 Hz, natural, birch plywood
The instrument with the model number 469-PBK from the "Master" series manufactured by Paetzold by Kunath is a sub-bass / double bass recorder that is tireless fun in daily use.
