The Picco Series: A Compact Recorder Designed for Learning
The Mollenhauer Picco stands out by its "small flute" format, designed to make the first sensations more immediate. Its playing system follows the spirit of a C soprano recorder, while offering a simple and quick handling. The result: an instrument easy to tame, convenient to carry, and particularly suited for short practice sessions as well as group lessons.
Known for the care given to its instruments, the Mollenhauer brand is often chosen by teachers and musicians seeking a reliable, consistent, and pleasant-to-play recorder.
For Whom and in Which Styles?
This recorder is primarily aimed at beginners and intermediate-level musicians who want a lightweight instrument requiring little breath and encouraging steady progress. It is well suited for initiation in music schools, workshops, and home practice.
Regarding repertoire, the Picco is comfortable with pedagogical pieces, introductory early music, as well as simple ensemble arrangements. Its soft and "enchanting" character also makes it enjoyable for playing melodies in popular music or traditional music, without harshness in attack.
Sound and Design
Thanks to its pearwood, the Picco offers a round and tender sound, with easy response and good homogeneity for a small-format recorder. The low air demand helps stabilize the sound from the first notes while limiting fatigue: a real advantage for learning to control attack, sustain, and articulation.
The baroque fingering provides standardized references, useful for following common methods and finding consistent fingerings from one instrument to another. The double hole improves control of certain notes and enhances ease on fingerings requiring fine precision, contributing to better overall intonation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Since the essentials are already provided, the most useful daily complement is an additional swab (in case of intensive use) and a spare tube of grease for joint maintenance. For everything else, the included case already allows safe and simple transport.
