After having tried plastic tenor recorders in which the low C is very difficult to produce I opted for a wooden recorder which doesn't pose this problem. I tried the Mollenhauer Canta 2406 which is excellent. I then tried this Denner 5406 which I found to have a lovely resonant sonorous tone characteristic of the Denner series and purchased it.Despite the extra cost I made the decision thinking that in the long run I would be glad of the quality. A piece of advice: play your new recorder in slowly over a period of 6 weeks, these are delicate instruments! Thanks to the excellent Thomann service I was able to compare different models and am grateful to them for that.

For the Curious...
If you've never owned a keyless, wooden, or tenor recorder, this recorder is an excellent first instrument.
This recorder demonstrates the Mollenhauer Denner line's signature design quality - notes that sound very easily and respond very well in the upper register.
The instrument's weakness in the lower range is typical of ALL tenor recorders that don't have keys - it is not unique to the Denner line or to Mollenhauer.
All of the subjective advantages of a wooden tenor are also present for the novice to discover.
Over all, it is a great starter tenor recorder.
