Denner: a high-end series inspired by historical instruments
The Denner series by Mollenhauer follows a demanding approach: it is developed based on the original instruments of Jacob Denner (1681-1735), a renowned maker who worked notably in Nuremberg and Copenhagen. This "inspired by old models" positioning aims for a balance sought by flutists: a clear, versatile instrument capable of remaining reliable even in the high register, while retaining a typically baroque sound signature.
For which musicians and repertoires?
This tenor recorder is primarily intended for intermediate to advanced musicians who wish to access a more refined craftsmanship, as well as for players oriented towards early music and baroque repertoire. Its design, aimed at stable tone production and good pitch control, also makes it suitable for ensembles (consorts), chamber music, or for flutists seeking an expressive and precise tenor.
Sound and design
The rosewood provides a warm response and beautiful harmonic density, ideal for supporting a bright baroque timbre without losing depth. The fully scooped holes contribute to better regularity of tone production and a more comfortable sense of intonation across all registers, including the high range. Ergonomically, the design is intended to facilitate playing, even for musicians with large hands, while maintaining a refined aesthetic thanks to the finely crafted ornamental rings and a surface treated with vegetable oils.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the response and longevity of the wood, regular maintenance is essential: use the swab after each session to limit residual moisture, and apply the joint grease as needed to ensure smooth assembly. The supplied case allows safe transport and limits shocks.
