Paetzold: Bassett in F (Bass recorder in F)

The instrument has a range of over 2 chromatic octaves, F3- G5.

Through a patented right, the instrument is the most compact basset recorder worldwide.

The instrument is usually played while seated, with the instrument resting on the edge of the seat.

With the specially constructed keys, the instrument has a smaller fingering span than that of the alto recorder in F, making this unique design easier for small players. Even the individual automatic thumb keys allow for easier playing of harmonics on this instrument.

 Size: The instrument is overall 31 inches in length. The inner bore is about 33½ inches long.
