Kunath Sigo Tenor Recorder (Baroque • Double-Hole • 442 Hz)
A modern innovation in recorder design—delivering true tenor sound in a compact, ergonomic form inspired by historical models, yet crafted with forward-thinking materials.
Key Features
- Compact tenor design: Folded “Sigo” scale achieves full tenor pitch (C₄–C₆) in an instrument with grip width nearly identical to a soprano recorder—perfect for small hands or long playing sessions
- Ergonomic build: Angled head-joint and integrated thumb-rest molded into the body reduce hand strain and improve comfort during extended practice or performance.
- RESONA material: Made from Kunath’s sustainable biopolymer (≈30 % wood); density and tonal character comparable to rosewood, but with greater stability (minimal swelling, crack-resistant, even in cold climates).
- Rich, clear tone: Curved cylindrical windway and conical bore system deliver a full-bodied, resonant sound that projects well in ensemble and solo settings
- Baroque fingering with double holes: Traditional fingering plus twin octave holes for low C and C♯, enabling purists and learners alike to explore repertoire with accurate intonation
- Pitch A = 442 Hz Slightly above modern standard (440 Hz), commonly used in European ensemble tuning—ideal for early-music groups and frame-driven contexts
- Lightweight & two-piece construction: Weighs just about 242 g; easily disassembled for transport and storage
- Durable, elegant finish: Matte black body treated with oil and wax; low-maintenance surface retains acoustic depth without needing frequent re-oiling like hardwood instruments
- Ready-to-play accessories: Includes cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart, and multi-part cotton storage bag
- Accessible quality: Germany-made in collaboration with renowned recorder maker Geri Bollinger, offering high-level performance at an affordable price point
Why choose the Sigo Tenor?
Ideal for players with smaller hands or those transitioning from soprano/alto—no stretch fatigue, but real tenor sound.
Stable and resilient material makes it a reliable daily instrument, even for schools, ensembles, or travel.
Combines historical fingering tradition with modern ergonomics and eco-conscious design.
Budget-friendly yet musically capable—many users praise its sound and comfort compared to much more expensive wooden tenors.
