Mollenhauer Canta Comfort Tenor 2446C - Pearwood (Baroque fingering)

The Canta: a Mollenhauer tenor designed to last, in the "comfort" range

With the Canta, Mollenhauer offers a pearwood tenor recorder with a robust and practical design, engineered to provide reassuring reliability and versatile use. Its "comfortable tenor" approach emphasizes ergonomics (curved headjoint, keys) to make the lower register more accessible without sacrificing the overall balance of the instrument.

For whom and in what musical contexts?

This tenor recorder is aimed at motivated beginners as well as intermediate players seeking a tenor that is easier to handle, especially for working on low notes without excessive tension. It is well suited for ensemble playing (early music, recorder orchestras, educational workshops) as well as solo performance, thanks to its even response and clear tonal character.

Sound and design

The Mollenhauer Canta targets a clear and pleasant sound, with a homogeneous spectrum across all registers, facilitating balance between low, middle, and high ranges. The pearwood promotes a natural and stable tone production, while the baroque fingering and double hole contribute to improved precision of fingerings and semitones. Ergonomically, the curved headjoint brings the instrument closer to the body and reduces the finger stretch needed to reach low notes, and the lightweight design combined with good weight distribution helps maintain a relaxed hold, even during long sessions.

Recommended compatible accessories

The recorder comes with a set of useful accessories to get started and maintain the instrument: case, microfiber cleaning swab, strap, joint grease, fingering chart, and maintenance manual.
