General
.
The instrument from the series class flute with the item number: 117-152U from the workshop Paetzold by Kunath is an instrument that can always generate fun in the classroom, as on stage.
This circumstance is due to the clever composition of the groundbreaking instrument model in symbiosis with the advantages of the used material pearwood.
The material is conspicuously convincing in this instrument due to its exceptional qualities. The characteristics can best be described with the following words: Noble,.
The scale length
.
The geometry of the recorder's inner bore is slightly cylindroconical and wide. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound.
In principle instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower bore.
For what styles of music can the flute be used?
Pearwood is excellent for instruments used in folk and for beginning recorder playing.
Who is the instrument aimed at?
It follows that instruments made of pearwood are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs, advanced players. A second important law is that a better instrument naturally makes music-making less complicated than one of inferior quality.
The wind tunnel of a recorder
.
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of a flute's sound.
In conjunction with the labium, the air leaf gives rise to the fundamental vibration that generates the flute's tone. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the formative principles
The model 117-152U from Paetzold by Kunath has a windway that is straight and conical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the air more than cylindrical windways.
Wind tunnels are of course immensely complex in their geometric form and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Griff
.
The recorder Paetzold by Kunath Klassenflöte 117-152U is supplied in the following fingering: Pentatonic.
Flapping
.
It is not always possible to place tone holes in places in the instrument that are comfortable to reach with the hands. Especially on bass instruments, tone holes sit in positions that are impossible to reach for acoustic reasons. On such instruments, keywork mechanisms are fitted to the instrument makers to make gripping considerably {simplify|easier, or even possible in the first place.
The
117-152U instrument has the following keys: None. This makes it strikingly easy to grasp, even by players with smaller hands.
This type of keys is unique and legally protected. Especially in Korea and Taiwan, these models are often used in youth ensembles by well-known teachers of young players.
But also adult players with reduced grip span of the hands enjoy the advantages of the Ohne.
Multipartiality
.
The construction of a musical instrument strongly influences the way in which the flute, when in use, allows for sensible handling in terms of ease of grip on the one hand, and convenient transport on the other.
A point that becomes especially important when larger or multiple instruments need to be transported.
Experienced ensemble players can tell them a thing or two about this.
Packing and accessories
.
The model comes standard with bag and the following accessories: Grease cup, wiper rod, fingering chart.
Hygiene tips
.
If the recorder is played by more than one person, it is recommended to disinfect the headjoint if necessary for your own protection.
For cleaning in these cases, the care product Flautisept has proven to be effective. Flautisept is available in our assortment.
Notes on finding a new instrument

What is the easiest way to find your new instrument?
Ask people you know
.
However, you should never let well-intentioned advice dissuade you from trying out a flute for yourself.
Your taste is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which flute inspires you.
Our recommendation is therefore: Try also unknown construction concepts, which you have perhaps not yet tested.
You can lose nothing, but only win.
