Mollenhauer Canta Comfort Bent Tenor 2446KC - Pearwood (Baroque fingering)

A Mollenhauer Tenor Designed to Last, at the Heart of the Canta Range

The Mollenhauer Canta embodies the spirit of a reliable, versatile, and robust tenor recorder. Its practical design and pearwood construction prioritize consistency and durability for everyday use, supporting both individual practice and group rehearsals. With its Baroque fingering and comfort-oriented design, it aims for a very contemporary balance: the charm of wood combined with modern ergonomics that truly ease the musician's experience.

For Whom and in What Musical Contexts?

This tenor recorder is suited for a wide range of musicians: students looking for a physically more accessible tenor, amateurs wanting a reliable instrument for regular playing, and advanced players seeking a comfortable instrument for repertoire. Thanks to its balanced response and versatile character, the Canta is suitable for early music (Baroque fingering), as well as ensemble settings (consorts, educational ensembles) and solo playing.

Sound and Design

The Mollenhauer Canta highlights a clear and pleasant tone, with good register homogeneity : transitions between middle and low registers remain coherent, helping maintain a stable musical line. The choice of pearwood promotes a natural response and a gratifying sense of control, while the overall design targets intonation and projection suited for ensemble playing. Ergonomically, the curved headjoint brings the instrument closer to the body and significantly reduces the distance to reach low notes-a real advantage on a tenor. The instrument remains comfortable in hand thanks to a well-balanced weight distribution and craftsmanship designed for a more relaxed hold.

A "Comfort" Tenor: Keywork and Ergonomics Serving the Hands

The Tenor Comfort version stands out with keywork that reduces finger stretches and relieves tension, especially in the low register. The G key prevents the ring finger from stretching, the F key significantly lowers the index finger's position to relax the hand, and the double C/C# key (with ergonomic design) facilitates access to low notes while protecting the pinky. The result: a more natural grip and smoother playing over time.
