The Denner: a Baroque-inspired bass, by Mollenhauer
With the Denner, Mollenhauer offers a bass recorder featuring a Baroque design and refined finishes, designed for musicians seeking both sonic character and elegance. Its positioning is clearly aimed at serious practice: a bass capable of holding its place in a consort, large ensemble, or recorder orchestra, while remaining expressive enough for solo performance.
Who is this bass recorder for?
This Mollenhauer Denner is primarily intended for intermediate to advanced recorder players (and ensemble musicians) who want a reliable, stable, and comfortable bass recorder over time. It is especially suitable for Baroque and ensemble music repertoire, but its response and clarity of articulation also make it relevant for contemporary music or demanding educational programs, where the bass must remain clear and well projected.
Sound and design
The pearwood body provides a generally warm and balanced tonal color, with projection suited to section playing. The Denner is described as delivering a powerful sound and clear articulation, with stable low notes and a clear, easily "pronounced" high register, which is essential on a bass recorder. The Baroque fingering and double hole promote better control of accidentals and finer intonation, while the Baroque design showcases the instrument with a sophisticated look, ideal for stage and orchestra use.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the response and longevity of your recorder, regular use of a microfiber swab (included) and joint grease (included) is strongly recommended. The included fingering chart is also a real asset for securing finger positions, especially in the high register and chromatic passages.
