Beautiful and easy to play.

Shelley 23.02.2014

This is my new favourite treble recorder. My old one is a Moeck Rottenburgh in palisander which although nicely shaped, smooth to the touch, beautifully patterned and easy to hold is really tricky to play the high notes. My new Mollenhauer on the other hand looks basic, but I like that; it looks renaissance. The high notes played easily from the first day and the sound is clear, round and loud. I'm expecting not to be drowned out by the louder instruments when I join a renaissance music group this summer (which I was last year on my Moeck). It's not a chore but a pleasure to play it in daily.

In appearance, this recorder looks much better in real life than on the website picture; there is not the harsh contrast between the shades that the photo has, and the overall effect is gentle toned.

There are just two slight problems: one is that the straight shape makes it harder to hold without it slipping, but I will solve that by holding it more horizontally; the other is that the finish is slightly rough and is making my lips a bit sore. I am now going to order the soprano model though perhaps with the plastic mouthpiece to avoid sore lips.

Good Looking recorder

Guy E 14.12.2019

I have the recorder for several years now. Good sound, high quality and good price. It is recommended for any player who is looking for a reliable instrument with innovative design, but there are better recorders on the market at a similar price.

Fabulous quality instrument

Lancelot13 09.04.2015

If you play the recorder or are serious about learning it then this is a great model of alto recorder. Comes complet in a soft case with all accessories. It does need a period of playing in (unlike plastic instruments) but so do all recorders of this type and quality. Really good materials and construction - great sounding recorder and easy to get higher registers.

Good quality

It's a very fun instrument and great quality!

Although the outlook of the instrument is fun, it does not fit well when playing with more "conventional" recorders.
