Modern alto recorder Mollenhauer 5926E with E-foot, pearwood

Modern alto flute in 442Hz made of pearwood in baroque fingering, with E foot and triple key E/F/F# . With this sound, you can finally hold your own in interplay with modern orchestral instruments or with piano. Whether you play in a pop, jazz or folk band, with a string orchestra or in a piano trio - this flute will not be missed! The effortless response, chromatic agility and enormous range go far beyond traditional models. For the modern alto, the familiar baroque fingering applies. Only for the notes of the third octave do additional fingerings become necessary. The lengthening of the footjoint and an additional key result in an extension of the range downwards by a semitone to the low e' as well as an additional spectrum of alternative fingerings and trill combinations (range: e1 - d4).

Select the voicing of your Modern Alto:
"Voicing" means the fine-tuning of the block and windway, where the flute maker makes fundamental decisions about the sound and function of the instrument.
Baroque voicing - baroque sound: full, round and noble, with a tonal strength that holds its own in interplay with modern orchestral instruments; 2 ½ octave range with effortless response.
Modern voicing - modern sound: powerful, assertive and unmistakable - a sound with a completely unique character! Almost 3 octaves of range! Balanced, smooth response and a clear and brilliant tone right up to the extreme high notes.

The special Synpor wood composite block gives the instrument an unprecedented musical resilience: the block core is made of the wood-imitating plastic Synpor, which is able to absorb blowing moisture through its micropores, but does not swell. The Synpor core is enclosed in a stable and naturally grown cedar wood shell.

This model is also available in rosewood and grenadilla.
