Oh my my... I've been having this Mollenhauer Denner for over a year and, thanks to this video, I've just learned that the majority of shorcomings is due not to the instrument but to my lack of practice XD Nontheless, I think that some notes, like a-flat4 or d5, require extremely subtle adaptations of fingering and air stream. But! With the right focus, the tuning appears to be very nice :) I love your reviews, Sarah!

Oh this video came out after I bought a Mollenhauer Denner Pearwood alto in Early Music Shop. Can’t wait to try and learn! I played the descent recorder in teenage. I don’t live in UK so no approval service. I watched Sarah’s video and decided on that model. The price is the main reason for the wood choice. And that Sarah said more expensive wood doesn’t mean a better instrument. Anyway thanks so much for teaching us so much about the recorder. Otherwise I would not pick it up again. 👍😊Still love the sweet sound of recorder after so many years (and despite I am also learning the piano. It sounds so cool to play two instruments)

Listening to these, I think the phone speakers are too small to work well with the subtle differences between these instruments. A couple of years ago, I convinced my wife to stop at the Von Huene place in Boston, the nearest recorder shop to NYC. I played a number of different instruments to see if I could tell the difference between different models and woods. The differences were a good deal more audible than on this video.

I play at a California thing called Renaissance Faire. It is an outdoor and pretty noisy environment. The environment is also important in choosing an instrument. I bought a relatively inexpensive Kung two-piece soprano several years ago, choosing it from several suggested instruments in the shop specifically because I could tell it would carry really well outdoors but still have a sweet sound (unlike, say, my plastic Aulos sopranino, which carries well but...). For indoors, especially in an acoustically bouncy room, I prefer my Moeck rottenburgh instruments, but for Faire, I love that Kung. (pandemic footnote: this was the first year since our RenFaire began in 1963 that the event was not held.)

I received my Kung Superio Alto (in pearwood) from the Early Music Shop a few days ago, after watching your live stream. I like it but find it hard to play a high F that is not too loud. So I put the head joint from my Mollenhauer Denner on the body of the Superio and I like it better. The high F is easier to play and the low notes are stronger than on my Denner, and the tuning is not affected if I pull out the head joint by about 1 or 2 mm. So this combination is now my favorite recorder (excluding my Mollenhauer Modern alto).
@Clarionetist
4 жыл бұрын
An update: Since I had trouble playing high F softly on my new Kung Superio, I put some tape over the thumb hole, leaving only the top 1 mm open, and the high F was easy to play (with the Superio head joint). So I decided to try a better technique using my thumbnail, and I achieved some improvement. So I don't need to use the Denner head joint. I wonder if an octave key can be added to make the high F easier, like on the Eagle recorder.

Garklein is really (as they say in German), gar....klein (very small) for my hands, so inspiring my wife and toddler son to learn that. So I go up from Sopranino. I do play a few songs beyond Hot Cross Buns and other children songs. I originally wanted to learn to play the Boehm flute but when I came across your channel, I changed my mind and bought recorder after recorder (all plastic, cos that's all I can afford). But I'm happy playing songs like Amazing Grace, Little Drummer Boy, and Little Buttercup on those... Thanks a lot for inspiring me with your infectiously enthusiastic teaching... Here I have one question and one comment - 1. Question - I'm trying to play the tenor (Yamaha plastic, baroque) and the basset (Yamaha plastic, baroque). Initially without thumb rests and got severe thumb-ache on my right hand. I've bought the thumb rests now, but it's only been a couple of days since I'm playing with these on. Still my hand and thumb hurt. Do you have any advice for remedy? 2. Comment - I came across this international collaboration and was looking for your name.

The Kung sounded quite nice but I can imagine that it's not for everyone. I've always found Mollenhauer having a bit more flexibility than Moeck (but also a more airy tone, sometimes too much), so I was surprised you find it more focussed than the Moeck, maybe they've changed. I love the Moeck sopranos for my beginner students. The boxwood Moeck alto recorders, unfortunately, had a huge risk of closing off almost all the time for at least 25% of my students who bought them in Valencia, a very humid location due to its own microclimate. In the end I asked them to buy olive wood Moeck altos, which worked MUCH better!!! I find they sound better too. They are a little bit more expensive, but it's worth it, especially in very humid areas.

Interesting consideration about taking climate into account. Where I am, it can get extremely dry in the winter, and I've heard about more than one olive wood recorder cracking in a dry climate. I'm very concerned about cracks as my own old boxwood Fehr alto developed a crack. I'm playing an 80s maple Moeck Rottenburgh right now, which is holding up very well. I was planning to visit some shops in person this summer and have put aside money to upgrade, but that's not happening.

My first Soprano recorder was given to me by a close neighbor it was a Mollenhaure made out of maple but it didn't have a good tone was too soft and was frustrating I also had a Moerk which also was maple had a pleasant sound don't remember what happened to it definitely better than Moellenhaurer nowadays I have a Aulos Soprano and a Treibert Alto which I'm okay with but there's nothing like wood, love the feel and the playing is finer and professional, the biggest downside is price unless you're looking to become seriously involved in studying and want to pursue your recorder playing professionally then spending hundreds of dollars or euros is a good investment but for me at least plastic is sufficient

Late comer here - old (71) and played Boehm flute for some 25 years when I was younger, took up traverso in the early 80s and played it for 4 years. Gave up flute in the early 90s, as my computer career took over. Now that I'm retired, I've taken up traverso again, having bought a G.A. Rottenburgh and a Palanca from Ariel Louis. I recently bought an Aulos plastic traverso in order to increase my practice time, since the wooden flutes have time limits. How do you, as a fipple flute player, compare wooden instruments to plastic ones? Plastic recorders have been around for a long time. Plastic traversos not so long. They weren't available as an option when I first took up traverso in the 80's. Since it's been three years since you posted this, I'll be surprised to hear back, but if you happen on to this, a response would be much appreciated.

Hi Sarah, Your videos on reviews of and choosing a certain recorder have been very informative. I am in the process of deciding on either a Moeck Rottenburgh or a Mollenauer Denner, either one in boxwood. I have the impression that the Rottenburgh has a better and richer lower register response than the Denner, while the Denner is a bit weaker in this range, but excels in the upper register. I am guessing that the Rottenburgh is more tonally similar to a Bressan alto, which I am rather partial to, but good wood Bressan copies are expensive. Also, I am wondering why most professional players these days prefer to play on Bressan, Stanesby and Denner copies but not a Rottenburgh? I could be all wrong about this, so I am hoping you can give your professional thoughts. Again great site!

It's perhaps worth clarifying that these "boxwood" instruments aren't true boxwood; they're made of other woods that have similar qualities to boxwood. The Denner is made from castellowood, for example. Although the sound will not be the same as true boxwood, they don't warp like true boxwood. I have the Mollenhauer Denner in castellowood, in both treble and descent sizes, and I'm very happy with them both. They're a very nice step up from a good plastic recorder and as an intermediate player, I doubt I will ever feel the need for a better recorder.

Watch her videos about articulation! One thing I just found out recently (I've switched to studying the recorder recently too) is that if you always articulate your notes with the same "hard" syllable, like "tu" it will indeed sound heavy. You have to start varying your articulation, mainly in the faster notes, you can try matching hard and soft syllables, like "tu" and "ru" or "tu" and "lu", some people use "du" too. Don't know if you understand what I mean, because I don't know if in english you use the same syllables as in portuguese, but you have to match then and you can do that in a variety of ways that will sound different, like "turu turu turu" our "turu tutu" or "tutu turu" etc

Bernolin resin is supposed to have better tone (subjective) but definitely has stronger low notes but more difficult and louder high notes. The Mollenhauer Denner is more like the Aulos Haka than the Bernolin resin. I'm not sure the Denner is worth the greater price since it's not much better than the Aulos Haka. Maybe the more expensive handmade Mollenhauer Denner Edition recorders are significantly better.

Hi Sarah, I notice that the thumbhole of the Denner range is smaller than the others'. I have been taking some time to get used to it when I switch from my Aulos plastic to the Moll. Denner.

The maple ones, are they hard or soft maple? It makes a huge difference to discerning ears, and affects choice relative to venue. Just a thought.

Are there similar choices for a tenor? Which would you recommend to try?

I HAVE to make a plug for the Mollenhauer Kynseker! (mine is f alto in plumwood) Do not be thinking Renaissance vs Baroque or such - all that is straight out the window. It has a curved windway with hand-filleted corners, overtones through the roof (when blown), and considerable dynamics.

Louis Sheffield I am really interested to read this because I’m seriously thinking of getting a Kynseker. Thank you for your opinion on these!

For tone I preferred the Kung Superior but I had the impression that the Mollenhauer Denner or the Moeck Rottenburgh were more playable. In the end I think I would choose the Denner.

I own a Mollenhauer Canta Alto. I have small hands and short fingers so it‘s not so easy to play for me. I‘ve heard Küng is good for people with smaller hands. Is there a difference between the Mollenhauer models and the Küngs?

Ooh come along for the live stream next Tuesday if you can, and we can test it out together! If not, it'll be up on my channel to watch back at a later date.

Please help me!! Sarah, thanks for the video! I bought the Moeck Rondo Alto last December, but I think the recorder has a big tuning problem. It sounds flat even after warming up (I followed your advices of your other's videos). The worst is from middle C to G, these notes sound 1 tone flat! Only blowing extremely hard (which makes it impossible to play any music, and it is no natural ) the pitch raises. What can I do? Thanks!

I like these. A reasonable price and realistic for a low income person. Are the hard to take care of?

The recorders seem quite ecpensive to me. Maybe it's cheaper if you get them directly from the producer? I'm going to get one from Moeck via my teacher, probably a Rottenburg in boxwood, which would be 325 €.

I’ve been curious about the moeck Denner s in 415 versus the Mollenhauer Denner edition. I think it’ll be cool to see a comparison. Though, they are each like 1000$!
