A "redesigned" Denner: Baroque heritage according to Mollenhauer
The Denner series by Mollenhauer follows a high-end approach inspired by original instruments of Jacob Denner (1681-1735). This alto recorder captures the Baroque aesthetic and spirit while benefiting from modern work on the bore, offering stability and intonation consistency rarely found in an alto. The result: an expressive, elegant instrument designed to serve music with precision and nuance.
Who is this alto recorder for?
The Mollenhauer Denner alto targets intermediate to advanced musicians, as well as demanding recorder players seeking a reliable model for the Baroque repertoire and early music. Its balance of clarity, comfort, and stability also makes it an excellent practice recorder for ensembles, stage, or recording, especially when tuning and clean articulation are essential.
Sound and design
Thanks to its redesigned bore, the Denner alto develops a bright and balanced Baroque timbre, with clear projection and remarkably stable intonation. The response remains reliable, including in the high register, while maintaining an "evolving" sound that allows shaping the tone color depending on attack and breath. In terms of craftsmanship, the fully scooped holes promote precision and homogeneity, while the ornamented rings and oiled finish emphasize artisanal character and playing comfort, even for large hands.
Recommended compatible accessories
Delivered with a cotton case edged with leather, a wooden cleaning rod, joint grease, a fingering chart, and a maintenance manual, this recorder already includes the essentials for transport and routine care.
