Mollenhauer 2246 Canta Alto Recorder in F – natural pearwood, baroque fingering with double holes & double key (A = 442 Hz, bag included)

A warm pearwood tone for relaxed ensemble playing

With the Mollenhauer 2246 Canta you hold an alto recorder from the renowned German manufacturer Mollenhauer. It is aimed at everyone looking for a reliable, easy-speaking instrument with a soft, choral tone, whether in a playing group, an ensemble or as a solo voice. Crafted from pearwood, it combines a warm tonal colour with everyday robustness.

Pearwood for a soft, carrying tone

The well-seasoned pearwood gives the Canta its characteristically soft, round sound that blends harmoniously into any ensemble. Each instrument is individually voiced by experienced recorder makers, so that response and tuning stay balanced across the entire range.

Baroque fingering with a double key for a relaxed hand

The Canta is built with Baroque fingering and double holes and is precisely tuned to a¹ = 442 Hz. The double key for the little finger of the right hand allows a natural, relaxed hand position that stays comfortable even during longer playing sessions. The light construction and slim shape further support this pleasant posture.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Warm ensemble sound: pearwood for a soft, choral tone that blends in well.
• Relaxed playing: double key for the right little finger and balanced weight.
• Easy response: individually hand-voiced for reliable tone production.
• Made for practice: robust design from selected woods for daily use.
• Ready to play: complete care set already included.
