Vintage Thomas Mollenhauer “Soloist" Tenor Recorder in Natural/Varnished Pearwood
• Versatile, reliable recorder ensemble with an homogenous sound, made of pearwood
• Pleasantly clear sound – speaks easily: for use in ensembles or as a solo instrument.
• Especially resilient and reliable due to the choice of wood and robust, practical design.
• Relaxed holding position due to the well balanced weight distribution, light construction and slender, economical design.
• The tenor is the ideal instrument for anyone who already plays the soprano recorder but loves a warmer, deeper recorder sound. You don’t have to relearn anything: the fingerings and notation are identical to that of the soprano recorder.
• Wood Type: Natural/Varnished Pearwood
• Fingering: German
• Holes/Keys: Double/Single
• Range: C1 bis G3
• Pitch: A1 = 442 Hz
Notes:
• Does NOT come with a case.
• Worn finish on top of beak.
• A few tooth marks on the underside of the beak.
• 7mm nick in bulge of head joint
• 1 cm scuff in finish just below thumbhole
• Moderate tarnish of brass key
The Mollenhauer recorder is often underrated, yet it is one of the world's most valued instruments amongst professionals and amateurs alike. Mollenhauer was started in Fulda as a woodwind-making company as early as 1822 and the business has been family-owned throughout five generations. Originally, Mollenhauer produced flutes, clarinets, and oboes. After World War II, the original instrument factory was destroyed and Thomas Mollenhauer began the manufacture of recorders under his father's name of Conrad Mollenhauer, making OEM recorders for Bärenreiter. Starting in 1953, the widow of Thomas took over the leadership of the company and later passed on ownership to her son, Bernhard Mollenhauer, who has piloted the firm through the development of the Helder modern alto and tenor recorders, the Dream flutes designed by Adriana Breukink, and the Morgan Denner alto recorders.
