{"product_id":"mollenhauer-ligne-denner-alto-dl-526-poirier-doigte-baroque-128773","title":"Denner Alto Line DL-526 - Pearwood (Baroque fingering)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDenner-Edition: the Baroque spirit, Mollenhauer precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this Denner-Edition, Mollenhauer offers an alto recorder designed to reconnect with the landmarks of the Baroque repertoire, while benefiting from the consistency of high-level series production. The \"Denner\" model fits within a sound aesthetic typical of early music, where register balance and intonation stability are essential in consort, chamber ensemble, or continuo playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice of \u003cstrong\u003e415 Hz pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e corresponds to the standard frequently used in historically informed performance. In practice, this means the instrument is designed to sound in tune with partners tuned to the same pitch (harpsichord, viola da gamba, Baroque strings, Baroque winds), rather than with a modern ensemble at 440 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which musician and styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis alto recorder is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e players who want an expressive, reliable, and coherent instrument for ensemble playing. It is also very suitable for musicians already comfortable on \"modern\" soprano\/alto recorders who want to move into the \u003cstrong\u003eBaroque repertoire\u003c\/strong\u003e with an instrument tuned to 415 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, it is perfectly suited for \u003cstrong\u003eearly music\u003c\/strong\u003e (sonatas, concertos, dances, airs), ornamentation and articulation work, as well as consort playing. It can also be used in advanced pedagogy to work on intonation precision, breath flexibility, and the implementation of Baroque fingerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epearwood\u003c\/strong\u003e body provides a warm grain and pleasant response, with a tonal color particularly adapted to the Baroque aesthetic. The \u003cstrong\u003ebore\u003c\/strong\u003e (the internal profile of the windway) is designed to offer a balanced timbre and good stability: the sound production remains comfortable, projection stays clear, and notes flow with appreciable homogeneity between low, middle, and high registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble hole\u003c\/strong\u003e (often on the lower fingers) facilitates fine tuning of certain notes and improves intonation in delicate passages. The \u003cstrong\u003eBaroque fingering\u003c\/strong\u003e, meanwhile, favors positions that optimize the tuning and color of notes according to early music standards. The result: a recorder that encourages clear articulation, controlled intonation, and genuine expressive nuances, without requiring a struggle against the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUseful glossary\u003c\/strong\u003e: the \u003cstrong\u003ebore\u003c\/strong\u003e directly influences timbre, tuning, and stability\u0026#59; the \u003cstrong\u003epitch\u003c\/strong\u003e indicates the reference frequency (here 415 Hz)\u0026#59; the \u003cstrong\u003edouble hole\u003c\/strong\u003e improves tuning of certain notes through more precise half-holes\u0026#59; the \u003cstrong\u003efingering\u003c\/strong\u003e refers to the set of finger positions used to produce notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo complete your daily setup, you can pair this alto recorder with universal and always useful accessories: a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e (essential to validate the 415 Hz pitch during rehearsals), a \u003cstrong\u003emetronome\u003c\/strong\u003e for articulation practice, and a stable \u003cstrong\u003emusic stand\u003c\/strong\u003e for reading sessions. Routine maintenance is done with the included accessories, taking care to use the joint grease sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
