Product information "Soprano headjoint classy-recorder (with tuning head-insert)"

GeneralThe

instrument from the classy-recorder model series with the model designation: 117-S from the Paetzold by Kunath workshop is a companion that always brings joy when playing music.
This characteristic is largely due to the masterful combination of the ingenious construction concept in fine tuning with the qualities of the pearwood material used,

which impresses with its extraordinary sound characteristics

.

The characteristics can be summarised as follows: Soft, warm

.The boreThe

course of the inner bore of the recorder is cylindrical and wide. 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 inner bore

.What styles of music can the instrument be used forBirnbaum

is ideal for instruments used in folk music and for beginners playing the recorder

.Who is this instrument aimed atThis means

that instruments made from Birnbaum are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second rule to bear in mind is that a high-quality instrument will in most cases make music-making more enriching than a cheap one

.The windway of a recorderThe

windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is one of the most important elements in the sound production of a recorder, and it is from this sheet of air at the labium that the vibration that generates the recorder sound is created. The shape of the windway therefore has an extraordinary influence on the musical creativity of the recorder.

The model 117-S from Paetzold by Kunath has a windway that is straight and conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air more than cylindrically shaped ones.
The geometric shape of windways is of course extremely complex and many parameters are influenced by each other

.FingeringThe

Paetzold by Kunath classy-recorder 117-S is supplied in the following design:

.KeysIt is not

always possible to place tone holes in places in the body that are comfortable to play with the hands. Particularly on larger instruments, some tone holes are located in positions that are not easy to reach for reasons relating to response. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.
The 117-S instrument has the following keys: Without. This means that the recorder can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands; this key system is unique and legally protected. Especially in Asia, these models are often used in schools by internationally renowned teachers for young players.
However, alto players with a reduced grip range of the hands also appreciate the advantages of the without.

Construction of the bodyThe

structural design of a recorder in terms of its multi-piece construction strongly influences the way in which it can be easily assembled for daily use on the one hand and compactly transported on the other.
This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Directors of large ensembles know how useful good and compact recorder packaging is.

Packaging and accessoriesThe

instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and the following accessories: Grease jar, cleaning rod, fingering
