Denner: A Bass with a Baroque Style, Designed for Ensemble
This Mollenhauer Denner bass recorder fits within a clearly baroque aesthetic, featuring refined finishing details and a design focused on musical precision. The choice of cherry wood provides a sonic identity appreciated by flutists seeking an instrument with character, while maintaining a light and comfortable grip. The Denner model also stands out with its "modular" design, intended to adapt to various playing contexts, from consorts to recorder orchestras.
Who Is This Bass Recorder For?
The Mollenhauer Denner is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians who want an expressive, stable, and comfortable bass, suitable for both baroque music and ensemble playing (consorts, large ensembles, recorder orchestras). Its response in the low register, clarity in the high register, and ergonomic solutions also make it a relevant option for solo playing, especially if you appreciate precise articulation and reliable projection.
Sound and Design
Designed to deliver a powerful sound with clear articulation, this bass aims for projection suitable for collective formations while maintaining excellent phrase clarity. The low notes remain stable, while the high register is reported to be easy to produce and clearly defined, helping to maintain a clean musical line even in fast passages. Aesthetically, the baroque design and detailed finishes enhance the impression of a carefully crafted instrument, made for demanding musicians.
The flute also offers a very practical approach: a slight rotation of the headjoint allows variation of sound qualities, and the ergonomic mouthpiece (discreetly integrated under a removable cap) improves comfort when playing with direct blowing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the response and longevity of your bass recorder, a microfiber cleaning swab (included) is ideal after each session. The joint grease (included) helps maintain smooth and airtight assembly. A case with strap (included) secures transport, and the fingering chart (included) facilitates mastering the register and accidentals in baroque fingering.
