Recorder (woodwind instrument) - Heldertenor

Professional instrument for contemporary music. Was developped by Mollenhauer in cooperation with the Dutch recorder maker Maarten Helder.
My instrument was revoiced by Ernst Meyer (Paris).

Expressive, elegant and dynamic sound: the right instrument for those who are looking for new recorder sounds. Assertive and strong so as to be audible in combination with modern orchestral instruments: in modern music, jazz, folk or indeed traditional recorder repertoire.

Extended range into the third octave: this enables access to new repertoire in areas so far unavailable to recorder players, eg. flute repertoire.

The fingering for the two lower octaves follows traditional �Baroque� patterns; special fingerings are only required for the third octave.

Extended range in the lower register by adding a key for B. Piano key: enables the finest of dynamic shadings.

The piano key opens a small hole in the head joint � the tone sharpens and as a result can be played more quietly. This allows delicate dynamic shadings to be realised.

a' = 442 Hz at minimum
played little, in very good condition
