Adri’s dream recorder

Dutch recorder maker Adriana Breukink is internationally recognised for her exclusive, hand-crafted recorders, which she makes as copies of historical instruments. With the development of the ”dream recorder”, she has achieved something very special: An impressive recorder series for all those who love the full and wide sound of Renaissance recorders. The characteristics of this flute are impressive – noble and expressive, it is ideal as a solo instrument for styles ranging from early music to jazz, and it also has all the features required of an ensemble flute.

• Wide inner bore – for a wide ensemble sound (Renaissance type, after van Eyck recorders)
• Effortless response – over 2 octaves, curved windway
• Tactile tone holes – particularly easy to feel, therefore good grip

The Renaissance period is the heyday of large recorder ensembles. Renaissance recorders were constructed in such a way that their sound blended particularly well in the ensemble to create a homogeneous sound. Adri’s dream recorder is based precisely on this design feature. The wide inner bore produces a powerful yet soft sound – the ideal concept for recorders that are played in large ensembles or in playing circles and group lessons. An Adri’s dream recorder is particularly easy for children to feel, giving them a good grip. The flute has a two-octave range with normal baroque fingering. The instruments in this series are imaginative and distinctive, the shape is modelled on medieval flutes and the instruments also have turned decorative rings. The surfaces are oiled with the finest vegetable oils.

Adriana Breukink: ”I have fulfilled a dream of mine with this recorder: A beginner’s recorder as a very special, valuable instrument – the beautiful colours and gold ornaments should also make this visually clear to the children. It accompanies its players for many years and through the entire recorder literature. It is also a recorder for advanced players. It can be used to play the entire Renaissance and early Baroque literature, as well as Bach and other genres such as folk music. ”

Mollenhauer – the breath is the soul!

The story of the trademark Mollenhauer begins with a cultural impulse from Johann Andreas Mollenhauer in 1822 and blows as ”the breath of soul” throughout centuries right up to today. Looking back at the development of the past generations of the company Mollenhauer, a lot of outstanding results and successes can be seen.

The 2002 slogan ”Fun & Flute” mirrors exactly what Mollenhauer’s recorders stand for. It becomes clear that today – 180 years later – Mollenhauer enthusiasm still hasn’t died down…you’ll get stung by it!
