The son of the instrument maker Joh. Chr. Denner, J. Denner was a contemporary of G. Ph. Telemann who, it can be assumed, was familiar with the work of J. Denner since his works for recorder pre-supposed just such instruments.
J. Denner's alto recorders are reknown for their powerful, overtone-rich and very brilliant sound with great response and an excellent high register.
As the model for my copy, we chose what is probably the best of his surviving instruments: that in the Musikhistorisk Museum og Carl Claudius' Samling, Copenhagen.
Besides 415 Hz, I also offer this recorder in modern pitch 440 Hz. This instrument impresses by an extremely clear response in all registers and by its brilliant, present but also very flexible sound.
It is available with modern (English) fingering with double holes.
For instruments in 415 Hz are original fingering and/or single holes available on request.
If requested, four-part imitation ivory mounts after the decoration on a similar original by J. Denner is available.
