Subgroßbassblockflöte „HP-Original“, Solo, Schwarz lackiert, Paetzold by Kunath

General

.

The instrument from the SOLO series with the model designation: 27-AS from the Paetzold by Kunath workshop is a musical tool that provides lasting joy in the classroom as well as on stage.
This circumstance is due to the clever composition of the special instrument model in symbiosis with the sound characteristics of the used material RESONA.

This material fascinates with the instrument by its extraordinary advantages. The characteristics can be characterized in such a way, whereby it lies in the nature of the thing that sounds can be described always only inadequately with words. For this reason the material-typical sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in slightly varying details: Woody and warm.

The bore

. The course of the recorder's inner bore is cylindrical and wider. This kind of bore course 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 best be used?

RESONA is particularly suitable for recorders used in ensembles, choral playing and as soloists.

Who is the instrument aimed at?

It follows from this that instruments from RESONA are particularly suitable for beginners. An additional important basic rule is that a more demanding instrument makes learning more pleasant in most cases than a supposedly cheap one.

The wind tunnel of a recorder

.

The windway is the area in the recorder's headjoint where the musician's blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the instrument's tone production. In interaction with the labium the air leaf thus gives rise to the vibration which generates the flute tone. The shape of the wind channel is therefore extremely relevant for the response and the sound of the instrument.

The instrument 27-AS by Paetzold by Kunath has a windway that is straight and conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrically shaped ones.
Wind tunnels are naturally very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
