{"product_id":"mollenhauer-modern-soprano-5914h-grenadille-doigte-baroque-23789","title":"Modern Soprano 5914H - Grenadilla (Baroque Fingering)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"Modern\" Soprano Born from Acoustic Research\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Modern series by Mollenhauer is part of a contemporary instrument-making approach, at the crossroads of tradition and demanding acoustic research. The concept of harmonic recorders, developed from work carried out in the 1990s, aims for the production of cleaner and musically exploitable harmonics, whereas some traditional recorders reserve these fingerings for effects (trills, alternative fingerings) or occasional adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003cstrong\u003eModern Soprano\u003c\/strong\u003e, Mollenhauer offers a high-end soprano that pushes the usual limits of the instrument: greater range, surprisingly present low register, and an extension that allows tackling more ambitious repertoires. The choice of \u003cstrong\u003egrenadilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and the integration of dedicated mechanics (Bb key and triple key) confirm this performance- and precision-oriented positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musicians and Styles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis soprano recorder is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e, conservatory students, and professionals seeking a soprano capable of combining finesse and power without hardening the upper register. It is particularly suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eBaroque\u003c\/strong\u003e repertoires (thanks to the Baroque fingering), but its balance and projection also make it interesting for \u003cstrong\u003econtemporary music\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensembles, and contexts where the recorder must remain audible above other instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you already play a \"standard\" soprano, the Modern Soprano will provide a more stable intonation feel and a more consistent response between registers, especially when exploring demanding fingerings or strong dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrenadilla\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a dense and nuanced timbre, with a clear attack and good dynamic reserve. The \"harmonic\" design (long bore) promotes increased \u003cstrong\u003ehomogeneity\u003c\/strong\u003e, easier to lock in \u003cstrong\u003eintonation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and very present \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e, while maintaining a sound described as \u003cstrong\u003eround and full\u003c\/strong\u003e for a soprano. The result: the upper register gains in smoothness and control without losing the brightness necessary for clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBb key\u003c\/strong\u003e (body extension to reach low Bb) is not just an additional note: the lengthening of the instrument contributes to a more \"settled\" sound sensation, with an overall reinforced balance across the entire range. The \u003cstrong\u003etriple key\u003c\/strong\u003e (Bb, C, C#) improves ergonomics and security of fingerings, while facilitating access to certain fast passages or chromaticisms depending on the musical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the \u003cstrong\u003eSYNPOR stopper\u003c\/strong\u003e (microporous synthetic material) is designed to better manage breath moisture: it absorbs moisture without swelling, which helps maintain stable dimensions and consistent behavior, even after prolonged use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo extend the performance and longevity of your instrument, it is advisable to have \u003cstrong\u003ejoint grease\u003c\/strong\u003e (in addition to the one provided) as well as a dedicated \u003cstrong\u003ecleaning swab\u003c\/strong\u003e for internal cleaning. A soft cloth can also help wipe the body after playing, especially with a dense wood like grenadilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
