Mollenhauer Canta Soprano 2106 - Pearwood (Baroque fingering)

The Canta: a Mollenhauer Recorder Designed to Last

The Canta series showcases Mollenhauer's expertise with a simple and effective approach: a soprano recorder made of wood designed to be reliable, robust, and pleasant to use over time. Its design emphasizes practicality and consistency in playing, with a balanced sound spectrum that remains stable in various contexts (individual practice, lessons, group playing).

For Which Musicians and Styles?

The Mollenhauer Canta is aimed both at beginners who want to start on a serious instrument and at intermediate players seeking a versatile wooden soprano. It is perfectly suited to the Baroque repertoire and ensemble music (recorder orchestras, workshops, classes), while remaining very enjoyable in solo performance thanks to its easy response and clear tone.

Sound and Design

Its pearwood body contributes to a clear and pleasant timbre, with a "full" sound feel and good register homogeneity. The Baroque fingering offers precise and familiar fingerings, while the double hole improves intonation and control of altered notes. In terms of handling, the recorder stands out with a lightweight construction and well-thought-out weight distribution, allowing for a more relaxed hold during extended playing sessions.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The recorder comes with a cotton case, a microfiber cleaning swab, and joint grease : essentials to protect the instrument and ensure regular maintenance. The fingering chart and maintenance manual facilitate getting started and developing good habits from the very first notes.
