The instrument with the article number: 2546K-MOLL from the Mollenhauer workshop is a recorder that can generate tireless joy in daily use. This characteristic is largely due to the clever combination of the unique design with the expressive possibilities of the pear wood used. The material of this instrument is strikingly inspiring due to its typical qualities. The characteristics can be described as follows: Pear wood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical and narrower on average. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound. In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower inner bore. What music is the instrument best suited to? Birnbaum is predestined for recorders that specialise in modern music, although other styles are possible. Who is the instrument aimed at? This means that pearwood instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second rule of thumb to bear in mind is that a high-quality instrument generally makes learning easier than a seemingly inexpensive bargain. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the determining element in the sound production of the instrument. The vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this sheet of air at the labium. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining characteristics for the musical expressiveness of the recorder. The windway of the Mollenhauer 2546K-MOLL instrument is shaped as follows: curved, cylindrical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are very complex and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Mollenhauer 2546K-MOLL model is supplied in fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction of the body The construction of a recorder has an extraordinary influence on the way in which it can be handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and safe transport on the other. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments have to be taken along. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The model is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, microfibre wiper, care instructions Hygiene tips If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to sterilise the windway at regular intervals to maintain cleanliness.

The recorder with the article number: TE-4528K-MOLL from Mollenhauer is a companion that makes music fun both in the classroom and on stage. This characteristic is largely due to the special combination of the carefully considered design with the sound characteristics of the plum wood (Prunus) used. The material used for this instrument is strikingly pleasing due to its typical sound characteristics. The characteristics can be described as follows: Prunus, plum, damson: Overtone-rich, slightly nasal sound. Goes very well with singing voices. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical and wider on average. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound. In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower inner bore. For which music is the instrument best suited? Plum wood (Prunus) is predestined for recorders that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible. Who the instrument is aimed at It follows that instruments made from plum wood (Prunus) are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second important basic rule is that a better instrument generally makes learning easier than a bad one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the defining element of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute sound is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore very influential for influencing the available sounds of the recorder. The windway of the Mollenhauer TE-4528K-MOLL instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their geometric shape and many parameters interact. Fingering The Mollenhauer TE-4528K-MOLL instrument is offered in the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Multiple parts The number of parts of a musical instrument fundamentally determines the way in which the recorder can be easily handled in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and convenient transport on the other.

The instrument with the article number: 4507-MOLL from the Mollenhauer workshop is a musical tool that provides lasting enjoyment in the classroom and on stage. The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the clever marriage of the above-average construction concept in combination with the qualities of the maple material used. The material used for this instrument impresses with its exceptional sound characteristics. The characteristics can be summarised as follows: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear wood. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical and wider on average. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound. In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale. What kind of music is the recorder best suited for? Maple is predestined for instruments focussing on Renaissance and folk music, other styles are possible. Who is this recorder aimed at? This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second generally applicable basic rule is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning more enjoyable than a poor one. The windway of a recorder The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the determining element in the sound production of a recorder. The vibration that generates the flute sound originates from this air blade at the labium. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the basic characteristics for the sound and response of the recorder. The windway of the Mollenhauer instrument 4507-MOLL is constructed as follows: Curved, cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Mollenhauer 4507-MOLL recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque single hole. Construction of the body The number of components of a musical instrument has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the recorder can be handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other.
