Tradition is the Preservation of the Fire. . .<br />

In the 1970´s began the story of the successful square recorders <strong>by</strong><br />

Joachim <strong>Paetzold</strong>.<br />

Herbert <strong>Paetzold</strong> takes on the idea, and for many decades would the<br />

square bass recorders be in close connection with his discovery and<br />

his creativity.<br />

The worldwide expansion of the instrument received a special starting<br />

impulse through the spontaneous decision of Frans Brüggen to<br />

use basses in the Ensemble Sour Cream.<br />

Many renowned players and ensembles such as Tom Beets, Blockflötenorchester<br />

Dortmund, Johannes Fischer, Susanne Fröhlich, Sarah<br />

Jeffery, Miako Klein, Flautando Köln, PLENUM, Tobias Reisige, Eva Reiter,<br />

Nadja Schubert, Spark, QNG, Paul Leenhouts, Dietrich Schnabel,<br />

Antonio Politano and countless others choose the quality of these<br />

unique bass recorders since decades to use in concert and studio<br />

recording settings.<br />

<strong>Paetzold</strong> (<strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong>) bass recorders hold a life-long value. Sometimes<br />

they will even become a bit more valuable over time. So that it<br />

will stay this way in the future, we emphasize that all new developed<br />

parts are compatible with existing basses.<br />

This way, you can repeatedly enhance your older bass recorder as<br />

desired with new accessories, or have a general overhaul to bring it<br />

up-to-date.<br />

Proof that all people who work daily on perfecting the bass recorders,<br />

understand and live tradition in the sense of ‚ „Preservation of<br />

the fire and not worshipping the ashes.‘‘<br />

The underestimated material: Plywood<br />

In musical instrument making, woodwind instrument making has probably the<br />

highest requirements on the materials used.<br />

Wood expands in contact with humidity. Some types of woods more so than<br />

others, some less. There is not a naturally grown type of wood that can go<br />

against the laws of nature, even when an instrument maker uses elaborate<br />

technology for impregnation.<br />

Over 100 years ago, a simple and effective method was invented from a German<br />

business man, Heinrich H. Basse, which reduces nearly completely the dimensional<br />

variation of the wood.<br />

He glued together many thin<br />

layers of wood under heat<br />

and pressure at a 90° angle.<br />

This way he neutralized the<br />

varying swelling and shrinking<br />

of the wood, making the<br />

wood free of warping and<br />

cracking. Plywood was born.<br />

For our instruments, we use<br />

carefully selected birch plywood,<br />

which is specially cut<br />

and glued.<br />

Along with the lacquering,<br />

we get instruments that set<br />

standards in terms of reliability<br />

and sound.<br />

Quality only goes in one<br />

direction.<br />

3


The Special Material: Solid Wood<br />

Despite the many advantages plywood instruments offer, some do not like<br />

this material.<br />

For those who do not want to miss the musical and exceptional ergonomic<br />

benefits of the <strong>Paetzold</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong> basses, we offer all instruments, except<br />

the subcontrabass, in solid cherrywood.<br />

Cherrywood has the advantage that the instruments with the density of<br />

0.63g/cm³, do not become unbearably heavy. The surface of the cherrywood<br />

gives the instrument a warmer and more sophisticated tone quality.<br />

The used cherrywood is<br />

purchased from specialized<br />

wood dealers that<br />

we have been cooperating<br />

with for decades.<br />

Of course we leave it up<br />

to you, which material we<br />

should build your bass<br />

with.<br />

No matter how you<br />

decide, we guarantee you<br />

unforgettable moments<br />

when you first experience<br />

the sight and sound of<br />

your instrument.<br />

Surface Finishing<br />

We offer different finishings for your instrument.<br />

You can choose from a wide selection of natural-looking wood surfaces up to<br />

extravagant airbrushed designs, we can personalize your instrument according<br />

to your wishes. The types of surfaces are shown at the end of the product<br />

Thumb-Keys and Co.<br />

What makes a bass to a <strong>Paetzold</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong>?<br />

In the last decades, new ideas have always been incorporated into the basic<br />

design of the square basses, and are constantly improved.<br />

Details that make music again and again a little more pleasant.<br />

180° turn<br />

Through a patented right (180°<br />

bend), the bocal can be 9x shorter<br />

as on comparable basses,<br />

making the instrument respond<br />

a lot quicker and more direct.<br />

Automatic Thumb-Keys<br />

You will be pleasantly surprised <strong>by</strong><br />

how comfortable and easy these<br />

bass thumb-keys are to use. Why<br />

should you renounce this comfort?<br />

6


Self-Regulating Key Pads<br />

Through the special positioning of<br />

the pads, the keys can cover well for<br />

a particularly longer time.<br />

You will find out that a <strong>Paetzold</strong><br />

<strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong> is an extremely reliable<br />

companion.<br />

The ErgoKey-Key Mechanism<br />

Have you ever had the pleasure to<br />

hold a <strong>Paetzold</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong> in your<br />

hands?<br />

Have you also wondered why<br />

such a large instrument allows to<br />

be played comfortably <strong>by</strong> smaller<br />

hands? No? True convenience<br />

means, there is no feeling that<br />

something is missing.<br />

7


Basset Recorder<br />

The basset is so compact through<br />

our patented design, that it is<br />

sometimes mistaken for a tenor<br />

recorder. When played, it quickly<br />

convinces through its surprisingly<br />

full and expressively warm sound<br />

that is beyond reproach. Here is<br />

a bass. Often this moment is the<br />

basis for a long-lasting love at first<br />

sound.<br />

Although it has an inner bore of<br />

33.5 inches, only a quarter of the<br />

length of our largest instrument, it<br />

has all the advantages of <strong>Kunath</strong><br />

bass recorders: the 180° bend, automatic<br />

thumb key, self-regulating<br />

key pads, and the ErgoKey-key<br />

mechanism.<br />

Especially in music school and ensemble<br />

settings, the basset makes<br />

it possible to be played <strong>by</strong> smaller<br />

hands, making the learning curb<br />

less complicated.<br />

Greatbass Recorder<br />

An instrument that impresses<br />

with its manageability and sound<br />

diversity.<br />

The instrument can be played easily<br />

both sitting and standing with<br />

the floor spike included.<br />

The floor spike can be quickly<br />

adjusted to a different size for another<br />

player even during a concert.<br />

The inner bore has a length of 46.5<br />

inches. The 180° bend shortens the<br />

instrument to a handy 43.3 inches<br />

in height.<br />

Of course, the greatbass uses the<br />

useful-proven <strong>Paetzold</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong><br />

features: 180° bend, automatic<br />

thumb keys, self-regulating pads<br />

and the ErgoKey-key mechanism.<br />

Whether classical, jazz, or contemporary<br />

music - the <strong>Paetzold</strong> <strong>by</strong><br />

<strong>Kunath</strong> greatbass is at home in all<br />

styles.<br />

The pictured “Black Nugget” is<br />

decorated with gold leaf.<br />

The stand is not included, but can<br />

be ordered as an accessory (see<br />

Contrabass Recorder<br />

This model laid the foundation<br />

for the worldwide success of the<br />

square basses.<br />

For <strong>Paetzold</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong>, it does not<br />

matter whether it is called a contrabass<br />

or a subbass.<br />

But one thing matters. It wants<br />

to be produced with the greatest<br />

possible precision. We grant this<br />

wish. Confidently it plays out its<br />

strength, either as a solo instrument<br />

or in an ensemble.<br />

The model has been optimized<br />

again and again over the years to<br />

set no limits to the rising demands<br />

of professional players.<br />

Many of the style-defining crafted<br />

features such as the 180° bend, the<br />

automatic thumb keys, the self-regulating<br />

key-pads and the ErgoKey<br />

key-mechanism have been developed<br />

on the contrabass.<br />

The instrument has a compact<br />

overall height of about 60 inches,<br />

but the length of the inner bore is<br />

almost 69 inches. The stand shown<br />

can be ordered separately as an<br />

accessory (see page 18 ff).<br />

Subgreatbass<br />

Some instruments are surrounded<br />

<strong>by</strong> a very special aura. Barely describable,<br />

but immediately noticeable.<br />

Sounding at an impressive length<br />

of a 90.5 inches long inner bore, the<br />

recorder is redefined.<br />

The bocal, just under 7 inches long,<br />

gives you full control over the little<br />

airflow that you need to play clearly<br />

with great ease a wide range from<br />

light to heavy articulation.<br />

With the 180° bend, the nearly<br />

77 inches in height instrument is<br />

remarkably handy. On concert tours<br />

your sensational companion is even<br />

allowed as carry-on luggage on the<br />

airplane in the bag (optional).<br />

And the fingering?<br />

The ErgoKey key-mechanism<br />

expresses how good an ergonomic<br />

design at a high level can be worth<br />

commemorating.<br />

recorder can be found starting on<br />

Subcontrabass<br />

A subcontrabass opens endless<br />

possibilities.<br />

Although size at first glance is<br />

not the only factor of quality, this<br />

instrument immediately gives<br />

the feeling, from when you play<br />

the first tones, that the mission of<br />

this bass recorder is to make your<br />

dreams come true.<br />

With the subcontrabass, a new era<br />

in ensemble-playing has begun.<br />

Soothing depth: sophistication and<br />

confidence.<br />

This sound carries over the magical<br />

barrier between 100% and total<br />

perfection.<br />

From this moment on recorder<br />

orchestras without the incomparable<br />

presence of subcontrabasses<br />

are indeed imaginable, but not<br />

desirable.<br />

The largest recorder of the world<br />

sounds from an impressive length<br />

of 141.75 inches (11‘9 ¾‘‘). With the<br />

double180° bend, the total height<br />

is reduced to a living room height<br />

of 96.5 inches, or 8‘ 9 ½‘‘.<br />

Range of 2 octaves (no low F#).<br />

Directly Blown Head Joints<br />

<strong>Paetzold</strong> (<strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong>) basses have<br />

written over 40 years of music history.<br />

Countless composers have written<br />

special expression pieces directly on<br />

the acoustic body of these instruments.<br />

To further extend the musical possibilities<br />

of the basses, we have developed<br />

directly blown head joints which can<br />

be used instead of the existing head<br />

joints.<br />

These headpieces are suitable for all<br />

previously purchased basses.<br />

In some cases small dimensional<br />

adjustments to your bass may be necessary,<br />

which we will carry out in our<br />

workshop, free of charge.<br />

Through the directly blown head joint<br />

you receive completely new possibilities<br />

of expression.<br />

Experience the feeling when the unique ergonomics of our basses combine<br />

themselves with the possibilities of a directly blown instrument - and again shift<br />

musical boundaries. Just like 40 years ago.<br />

Head Cross Stands<br />

If you have equipped your bass with a floor spike,<br />

the use of the head cross-stand is recommended.<br />

With this stand the bass can be turned upside<br />

down without removing the floor spike.<br />

When storing the bass in this position for a<br />

longer time period, it is necessary to empty the<br />

drain plug and the drip cup.<br />

Twin Stand<br />

Do you belong to the people who would like to be<br />

prepared for any situation?<br />

Then the twin stand is the ultimate accessory for<br />

you and your bass.<br />

The twin stand combines the functions of the<br />

cross-stand and the head cross-stand. This way you<br />

transport one stand, but both functions can be<br />

selected.<br />

Subcontrabass Stand<br />

The instrument stands upright without<br />

having to be held. You can completely<br />

concentrate on making music. During the<br />

breaks, the instrument stands securely<br />

in place. You do not want to miss this<br />

convenience once you came to enjoy that<br />

the subcontrabass stand is watching your<br />

instrument.<br />

Strap Holders<br />

Your wrists will be happy when they do not<br />

have to work so hard. Of course you do not<br />

have to do everything yourself. Delegate<br />

simple work to helpers like the strap holder.<br />

In conjunction with a conventional bass strap<br />

holder it takes the weight of the bass away<br />

from your hands. You can dedicate yourself to<br />

playing expressively and carefree.<br />

The strapholder is simply clamped onto the instrument.<br />

Telescopic Support Spike<br />

The telescopic support spike makes it possible for the bass to<br />

be adjustable in height from the floor with infinite variability.<br />

This way, you can decide if you want to stand up or sit while<br />

playing. Disassembled for transportation, there is room in the<br />

bag and hard case.<br />

Mouthpieces<br />

In March 2011, the tenon form of the mouthpiece was changed to have a<br />

more stable, guaranteed seating to the bocal.<br />

When reordering, please check exactly which type you need.<br />

Bocals<br />

In March 2011 the construction of<br />

bocals was changed as part of a model<br />

revision. The goal was to achieve<br />

a long-term stable fit to the bocal for<br />

the mouthpieces.<br />

If you need to replace an old bocal, we<br />

would like to ask you to please also<br />

order a new matching mouthpiece.<br />

Possibly also the drip cup should be replaced.<br />

The long bocal may be used as needed even for contrabasses and subgreatbasses.<br />

Sealing Gaskets<br />

We developed a double sealing<br />

gasket to go around each instrument<br />

joint, so that they are<br />

reliably sealed to one another<br />

to avoid the problem that traditional<br />

bass tenon joints have.<br />

They consist of a particularly<br />

high-quality foam, which we<br />

tested for stability for over tens<br />

of thousands of test cycles. The<br />

result: Under normal conditions,<br />

the seals will last for<br />

many years, and thus longer<br />

than the conventional cork connections of recorders. The seals can be mounted<br />

to all existing <strong>Paetzold</strong> (<strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong>) basses in our workshop.<br />

The bass is shown for illustration.<br />

Please protect the double seals against pressure from the sides, for example<br />

when inserting the instrument into the suitcase or bag. When storing the bass<br />

always use the supplied gasket protectors.<br />

Installation is included in the price.<br />

Service<br />

<strong>Paetzold</strong> (<strong>by</strong> <strong>Kunath</strong>) basses are almost indestructible. Through the special<br />

design of the head joint even the windway can be exchanged, which is not<br />

possible in normal recorders. We can even put „overblown“ recorders with<br />

a reasonable amount of effort into a new condition.We offer general overhauls<br />

and part overhauls for your instrument.<br />

Part overhauls will be charged according to expenditure.<br />

We offer general overhauls at a fixed price. This includes installation of the<br />

new double sealing gaskets. Please make an appointment with us before<br />

you send in your instrument.<br />
