Mollenhauer 5606 Denner Great Bass

Beautiful instrument, quite heavy but well balanced when played sitting with the foot piece or standing with the extendable spike. The neck sling is hardly necessary. Keys are well placed and not a strain if you don't have large hands. The lower keys provide logical fingerings (unlike some other large recorders) and it has an additional split key for Eb which gives you two fingering options for that note. As does the additional key for the little finger L hand. The recorder speaks well throughout its range, inlcuding the highest notes. Intonation and tuning is good and overall the recorder has a very pleasant, well rounded tone, earthy at the bottom end of the range, with sweet upper notes.

I was recommended to purchase from Thomann and have been very impressed with their customer service and communications. Delivery from Germany to the UK was very quick and I was sent emails informing me at every stage of the process.
