Some words about the Mollenhauer, Earring, Tulipwood ( 2 pieces ), not playable

This miniature recorder ear pendant was developed by the ingenious instrument maker Adalbert Koch. For many years he made these gems in his small hobby workshop on miniature machines optimized by him. The trigger was an exhibition where he had seen a miniature recorder. But this one did not produce any tones! This was a ""can't-go"" moment for an instrument maker who practiced his profession with heart and soul. He developed the present models in weeks of his own attention to detail and precision - and they are playable! Even if he was only 99.9% satisfied with the result. The upcut (the distance between the wind channel end and the labium edge) is proportionally larger on these small flute dwarfs than on the normal soprano or alto recorder. We are sure you would not have noticed this detail if we had not told you the anecdote. However, it will certainly make you more aware of the achievement that lies ahead of you here.Oh yes, you can only see the picture of this little marvel at the moment. That the earrings are not playable is certainly clear. After all, the centerpiece is missing. Long market research has shown that very few players have a middle ear to which you could attach the centerpiece. *grin* Therefore, the model shown is simply jewelry. But a beautiful one.
