Mollenhauer Canta: an Alto Designed to Last, in the Spirit of the Brand
With the Canta, Mollenhauer offers an alto recorder that focuses on the essentials: robust craftsmanship, reliable daily performance, and accessible musicality. Its positioning within the range is clear: a recorder designed to support long-term learning and ensemble playing, while remaining enjoyable to play solo thanks to a consistent response and well-balanced overall sound.
Who Is This Alto Recorder For?
The Mollenhauer Canta is an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate musicians seeking a stable and versatile alto recorder, suitable for both personal practice and group lessons or ensembles. Thanks to the baroque fingering and double hole, it is also suitable for players aiming to advance towards more precise playing (intonation, chromatics, articulation). It naturally fits into baroque, early music repertoires, as well as arrangements of popular music or ensemble music.
Sound and Design
Made of pearwood, the Canta produces a clear and pleasant sound, with a sound spectrum described as homogeneous : the registers transition smoothly, which helps build a stable tone and work on intonation. Its design prioritizes comfortable handling: weight distribution and lightweight construction promote a relaxed hold, useful during extended sessions. The double hole provides real comfort in delicate fingerings, especially for refining certain semitones.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the recorder and maintain optimal response, using a proper cleaning swab after each session (the one provided is suitable) and occasional application of joint grease (also included) are best practices. The included cotton case allows for simple daily transport and effectively protects the instrument from light shocks and dust.

Very good first impression, the sound is clear across the entire range of the instrument. After gradual honing it is a flute that will certainly be very pleasant to play. An excellent value for money.
