  • Sigo Tenor Recorder by Kunath

    Kunath
    £125.00
    Pre-order now for delivery from May/June 2025 Due to the level of demand, which has far exceeded the maker’s original expectations, the instruments on the January/February delivery have been delayed and will now be despatched at the end of March 2025. These instruments are reserved for orders received on/before 3rd January 2025. We are now taking pre-orders for the next instruments currently scheduled to arrive in May/June 2025. We are sorry for this delay, but hope you understand the unprecedented explosion of interest in the Sigo. We will keep you updated and thank you for your patience and understanding. While there are recorder models that are played today based on the ideas of historical instrument makers such as Rottenburgh, Denner, Kynseker, Bressan and others, Sigo goes its own way. Sigo is a recorder model series developed in collaboration between Kunath Instrumentenbau and Geri Bollinger, one of Europe's leading recorder makers. The tenor instrument 5405-072 has almost the same grip width as a soprano (descant) recorder. The angled headjoint and the thumb rest integrated into the mould make Sigo particularly ergonomic. The body is made of RESONA, a material developed by Kunath Instrumentenbau from renewable raw materials. The headjoint is made from plant-based resins. As the Sigo scale is folded, the instrument sounds just as deep, although it is shorter than a normal tenor flute. The matt surface of the lower body and the thumb rest integrated into the mould make the instrument exceptionally comfortable to play. Accessories: Cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart Weight: 0.25 kg Mouthpiece: Direct blow (knick head) Construction: 2-part (head and lower body) Fingering: Baroque fingering with double hole Material: RESONA, black finish with black/green headjoint Pitch: a442 Windway: Curved, cylindrical bore
