Mollenhauer 5206 Denner alto f', pearwood. In 2002, three years after the death of perhaps one of the greatest recorder makers Fred Morgan, Mollenhauer and the Morgan family began working together on a design of Denner alto to add to Mollenhauer’s already established and award winning Denner series. This partnership has resulted in high quality, well designed instruments becoming available to a wide circle of players. Morgan based his alto design on an instrument by Jacob Denner (1681-1735) from the Copenhagen Museum and undertook the complicated task of converting it into an instrument at a=440 whilst still retaining the essential characteristics of the original design. After years of careful research he designed a brilliant instrument that was faithful to the original in all but pitch. Based on this design, Mollenhauer present an instrument whose design features include a specially stabilised block to help prevent swelling and blocking and a curved windway with concave internal surfaces to make tonal variation easier to produce. With a clear upper octave and stable low notes this instrument also has a clear and full tone.
The Mollenhauer Denner series (soprano) won the highly acclaimed German Music Instrument award in 1999.

This recorder comes with a cotton bag with leather trim, cleaning rod and cloth, cork grease, fingering chart and maintenance instructions.

Nice quality recorder

The instrument has a nice pleasant tone, and there are no visible flaws in the material or construction. I am still playing it in, and I am not accustomed to the alto recorder yet, but it seems lke a very good choice in terms of quality and affordability.

Try before you buy - brilliant.

I was so grateful for the wonderful support given by the staff at The Early Music Shop; they guided me in my choice of instruments to try at home and took care to fit in with my requests for arrival dates. The instruments were all carefully presented and in superb condition. Having them at home for a week was brilliant fun and has enabled me to be confident in my final choice. I can’t recommend this service highly enough. The Mollenhauer Denner in pearwood was my final choice because of its lovely mellow tone, ease of playing the full range of notes and it suits my playing style perfectly.

Beautiful treble recorder

Beautiful recorder. It looks lovely and is beautiful to play. I can get the top notes on it with ease. My only minor criticism with Mollenhauer is their semicircular cases are so ****. I wish they would redesign them.
