The Denner Series: A Mollenhauer Reference with a Baroque Flair
The Denner is among the most sought-after soprano recorders from the Mollenhauer brand, developed in the spirit of the original instruments by Jacob Denner (1681-1735), a renowned maker of the Baroque era. The goal is clear: to offer a characterful, precise, and balanced recorder capable of maintaining excellent stability even when playing in the upper register.
For Which Musician and Repertoires?
This soprano recorder is aimed at intermediate to advanced players who want to move to a more expressive instrument than a student model while retaining reliable handling. Its "Baroque" identity naturally suits the Baroque repertoire (sonatas, dances, ensemble music), but it remains relevant for early music, chamber music, and any practice seeking a clear and articulated timbre.
Sound and Design
The Denner model is appreciated for its bright timbre and precise response, with a sound production designed to remain reliable even in the highest register. The fully scooped tone holes enhance intonation and attack quality, while the double holes improve control of altered notes and semitones. In terms of construction, the rosewood provides a solid feel and a rich tonal grain, and the oiled surface (vegetable oils) highlights the material while enhancing the natural touch. The design is made to stay comfortable, including for larger hands, and the ornate rings emphasize the instrument's elegance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The recorder comes with essentials for playing and maintenance: cotton case edged with leather, wooden cleaning rod, joint grease, fingering chart, and maintenance instructions. To prolong the instrument's lifespan, remember to regularly use the cleaning rod after each session and apply grease to the joints as needed.

Superb!!! A divine sound! Very well adjusted! My daughter became very motivated for her flute lesson: she composed several pieces with her new instrument! It's worth the investment because you can see the difference compared to the plastic recorder. Practical, easily transportable kit, maintenance items and free products!
The color is perfect! Nothing is more beautiful than the wooden recorder! A very much awaited gift! Very good investment, I recommend!Automatically translated
