Mollenhauer 5022 Denner Sopranino

This replaced an apricot-wood sopranino that I got in Hungary from an unknown manufacturer. That was certainly a nice little instrument, but the sound and responsiveness of this is really wonderful?no reflection on the Hungarian instrument. Still, there is a world of difference between the two. Light to hold, the Denner sopranino feels good in the hand and has a lovely and bright sound. The colour of the zapatero "boxwood" is very attractive, and of course the Denner styling is classic. The recorder came in a neat little cotton taco-case with leather trim (Thomann should carry these leather-trimmed cases in addition to the black taco-case bags?the Mollenhauer 7703 and the likel) In the carrying bag there is a microfibre cleaning rod, fingering chart, and joint grease. I am delighted with this purchase.
