Mollenhauer CANTA 2446 Tenor Recorder: Warm Tone, Effortless Playability

The Mollenhauer CANTA 2446 tenor is a wooden recorder crafted for musicians seeking a warmer, deeper sound while maintaining easy play. What stands out is the consistent intonation, mellow tone, and ergonomic build, supporting reliable performance whether in ensembles or solo. Upgrading from soprano is seamless, as familiar fingering and notation combine with greater tonal range and comfort. This instrument is built for those valuing quality craftsmanship and enduring playability at a mid-tier level.

Standout Features: Crafted Pearwood & Double Keys

Thanks to pearwood, the recorder has a clear, homogenous voice and lasting resilience for daily practice. Double keys for low C and C# give an ergonomic edge, letting players handle challenging passages more easily compared to single-key models. Years of robust use come from its reliable design.

Key Technical Parameters – Designed for Comfort and Versatility

Players experience thoughtfully chosen specifications that lift both sound and feel. The well-balanced body and double-hole keywork of the CANTA 2446 make for less finger stretch and a relaxed hand position, which is helpful for longer practice or smaller hands.

• Body Material: Pearwood — delivers a warm, mellow sound with a clear attack and natural resonance.
• Fingering: Baroque with double holes and double keys — allows precise intonation and comfortable reach for both low and high notes.
• Pitch: a′ = 442 Hz — matches modern ensemble standards for tuning consistency.
• Expressive range from c1 to g3 means you can cover a broad spectrum of musical ideas, opening up more repertoire possibilities.
