Mollenhauer 1295 Prima Alto Recorder 5-stars Reviews

Wow!

I bought this recorder because of the other great reviews - this recorder is well worth every penny!

As other people have already said, the 'plastic' head joint is better than wooden head joints because it doesn't need much 'warming up' & doesn't need to be 'broken in' like full wooden recorders.

It does have a lovely tone compared to 'plastic' recorders.

My recorder teach is very impressed with this recorder!

Wow

This is a really nice choice and as far as I know the only hybrid of a plastic head with a wooden body in the alto range. The sound is definitely better than the full plastic instruments. So this is great for players who just play occasionally and do not want to go through the procedure of playing the instrument in. Definitely very nice - I wish there was a tenor like this too!
