Mollenhauer DL-5206 Denner-Line Alto

It's a good instrument for someone who would like to move toward historically informed practices by playing with other HIP enthusiasts in 415. Besides, it worked well in some modern experiments including multiphonics and simultaneous singing. The tone sounds very sweet in big rooms. The upper register (above f3) speaks very well. However, it's definitely not an instrument for a professional who needs pro quality for important performances or recordings. Also, I'm not sure if it's even possible to play on this some very fast virtuoso part like in Vivaldi's concertos (I tried but fast wide passages tend to cause cracks in the sound). Anyway, it's a good quality-to-price ratio.
