Mollenhauer Canta Alto 2246 - Pearwood (Baroque fingering)

The Canta: a Mollenhauer Recorder Designed to Last

With the Canta series, Mollenhauer offers an alto recorder focused on the essentials: robust craftsmanship, easy handling, and a homogeneous sound. The choice of pearwood contributes to the instrument's reliability, while the design favors versatile use, equally comfortable for individual practice and ensemble playing.

For Which Musicians and Uses?

This alto recorder is particularly suitable for beginner to intermediate musicians seeking a serious instrument for study, as well as for more advanced players who want a pleasant alto for rehearsals, ensemble playing, or tone development. Its baroque fingering makes it relevant for the classical repertoire, early music in educational contexts, and more broadly for use in music schools, recorder orchestras, or chamber music.

Sound and Design

The Canta stands out for a clear and pleasant timbre, with a response designed to remain consistent across all registers. Its homogeneous sound spectrum helps stabilize intonation and work on projection without strain. In terms of comfort, the weight distribution and lightweight construction promote a relaxing hold, useful during long sessions, especially in ensemble playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This recorder comes with a cotton pouch, a microfiber cleaning swab, joint grease, a fingering chart, and a maintenance manual : everything essential for transporting, maintaining, and getting started with the instrument from the very first minutes.
