Denner-Edition Descant Recorder Grenadilla

Grenadilla Soprano/Descant after Jacob Denner (1681-1735). Recorder after Jacob Denner (1681-1735). Denner-Edition 442.

Hand-crafted baroque recorders. The top class among baroque descant recorders at modern pitch. Highest soloistic demands. The basis of the historical bore shape are concepts like those developed in the most important Nuremberg woodwind instrument workshop of the Denner family - particularly of Jacob Denner. Modern working processes have made it possible to achieve a sound quality that was previously characteristic only of low pitch baroque instruments. Registers with balanced and stable intonation are the basis for the versatility of a refined sound. The characteristically direct playing combines lightness and brilliance with focused airflow.

We dedicate an extensive amount of time to crafting these exclusive instruments. Every instrument is voiced over a long period of time - periods of intense playing alternate with phases of fine tuning. In this way, the recorder maker can closely monitor and adjust the development of every instrument.

Hand-crafted instrument: Craftsman-made windway, heavily undercut finger holes, bushed thumbhole, rounded and polished beak. Finish: historically stained, oiled and polished by hand, threaded joints, in a fine leather bag.
