Mollenhauer MODERN 5926e alto recorder: Extended range and power

For advanced musicians, the Mollenhauer MODERN 5926e alto recorder with E key offers a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering. This model is notable for its assertive sound and versatility in solo or ensemble performance. A powerful low register, combined with easy response across nearly three octaves, ensures projection even in the presence of orchestral instruments or piano. Crafted from pearwood, the instrument features a synpor-cedar composite block for improved moisture resistance and stability. The clarity and balanced projection of the YRS-23 are well regarded by professional players.

Unique features that set it apart

What stands out is the extended E-foot joint with a triple key (E/F/F#) system, granting both downward range and alternative fingerings for superior chromaticism. The synpor-cedar block not only resists swelling but also ensures consistent performance during long rehearsals.
