AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction is a premium, matching dual-instrument recorder set crafted by the highly acclaimed German master workshop Mollenhauer.

This beautifully preserved set belongs to the prestigious Denner series, celebrated worldwide for its rich historical tone, flexible response, and elegant Baroque-style ornamental turned rings.
Both instruments are crafted from premium, high-grade light wood (likely pearwood or boxwood) and feature traditional Baroque (English) fingering, making them ideal for serious ensemble players, soloists, and collectors alike.

The Set Includes:

1. Mollenhauer Denner Alto Recorder (In F):
• Features a beautiful 3-piece construction.
• Equipped with a vintage brass/bronze footjoint key mechanism to comfortably reach the lowest notes.
• Approximately 48 cm (19 inches) in total length.

2. Mollenhauer Denner Soprano Recorder (In C):
• A perfectly matching 2-piece companion instrument.
• Approximately 32 cm (12.5 inches) in total length.

Condition Report:
• Aesthetic: Excellent vintage condition. The wood grain is beautifully defined, and the finish retains a warm, healthy luster. No visible cracks or damage to the bodies.
• Mechanical & Seals: All connection cork joints are thick, intact, and create a tight, airtight seal when assembled. The spring mechanism on the Alto key is highly responsive and smooth.
• Labium/Windway: The laboratory edges and windway blocks appear clean and structurally sound.

Included:
• Original vintage plush burgundy velvet-lined hardshell presentation case (keeps both instruments safely separated).
• Original cleaning swabs/brushes.
• Rubber end-cap protector.

Please study the extensive photographs closely to appreciate the stunning craftsmanship, matching grain patterns, and clear workshop stamps.

Shipment: The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by Deutsche Post (DHL) with tracking.

This item is being sold as-is as pictured, so please take a look at the photos carefully as they are part of the description.
