Outstanding all around
Returning Player 03.07.2020
This review is for the exceptional service at Thomann and the fine products they carry. I purchased the Mollenhauer Denner alto recorder in olive as a special treat to myself. I am just returning to playing the recorder after a 20 yr hiatus. The recorder is beautiful! It makes a lovely sound, is responsive and a joy to play. Equally impressive to me was the experience I had with Thomann. The order process was simple and efficient. The recorder arrived in my small town in the USA within 3 days of the order! The pricing was terrific. And I had a technical question about the recorder, which was answered promptly by a Thomann representative. Overall, an exceptional experience. Worthy of 6 stars!

Lovely recorder

I have had the recorder a few months now and spent time getting to know it.
Pros:
Very responsive. Does not require a great deal of breath (compared to a Moeck Rottenburgh) and is very responsive to articulation.
Very easy in the upper register - barely requires any change in breath pressure to play notes up to high F.
Does not seem to get blocked...ever, when playing!
Has a fairly gentle but clear sound. I play trio sonatas with friends and it holds it's own well, without being overbearing.

Cons
Is very responsive! Slight changes in breath pressure affect intonation, but that says more about my playing than the recorder!
Joints are a little too loose for my liking. I have added thread to help them fit snugly as I could feel them moving when playing. However, I have another Mollenhauer and the joints are perfect, so maybe just this recorder.
Lower notes are quiet, but this is to be expected when the upper register is so accessible.
High G (above top F) needs slightly different fingering than I am used to, but this is a very minor quibble!
All round - beautiful recorder, although not the most powerful. Has really helped me develop my articulation and is great for playing baroque repertoire.

Absolutely beautiful

Both the look and feel of this olivewood alto are a delight. The wood-grain is simply beautiful. The recorder is light to hold in the hand and very comfortable. I'm only playing in the instrument now, but I feel already I have a friend for life.

A favorite
RecorderFan 21.06.2021
This is by far my favorite recorder. The olive wood is lightweight and provides a rich sound. The Mollenhauer 5223 is a real joy to play. If you are looking for a recorder that is unique, but not overpowering, this is the one for you.

Lightweight, responsive beauty
Seagreenman 28.10.2022
I ordered this recorder along with another Denner model to compare and decide. It was an instant choice. I really like the light weight of the recorder and the clarity of tone and also how it makes it easy to play quiet while being nice and loud when needed. The Olive wood is beautiful and as I handle it is becoming slowly a richer deeper colour. I am a Grade 5 player and this Recorder feels like a welcome upgrade.
