Mollenhauer CANTA TENOR 2446

Canta: Mollenhauer's Vision of a Reliable and Versatile Tenor

With the Canta series, Mollenhauer offers a tenor recorder designed to be both robust, practical, and musical. The choice of pearwood and a "field-oriented" design make it a reassuring option for musicians seeking a durable instrument capable of keeping up with a demanding work pace, while maintaining a homogeneous sound spectrum across all registers.

For Which Musician and Styles?

This tenor recorder is aimed at both beginner to intermediate musicians looking for a serious instrument, and more advanced players seeking a reliable tenor for daily practice. It is particularly suited to the baroque repertoire, ensemble music (consorts, educational ensembles), but also to more modern pieces thanks to its versatile character, both in solo and group settings.

Sound and Design

The Mollenhauer Canta aims for a clear and pleasant sound, with an emission designed to remain comfortable. Its homogeneity facilitates transitions between registers, which helps work on intonation and note stability in an ensemble context. The double hole improves the precision of certain fingerings (notably in semitones), and the presence of a double key contributes to a more confident handling of a tenor recorder, while promoting a more relaxed hold thanks to a well-thought-out weight distribution.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the wood and the instrument's longevity, regular use of the included microfiber swab (after each session) and the included joint grease is strongly recommended. The fingering chart also helps save time in learning baroque fingering and accidentals.
