Fipple »Dege« soprano recorder in c"

Inspiration from the very beginning!

Fipple – the unmistakable entry-level instrument from Mollenhauer

Available in four imaginative colours.
Each model is associated with a humorous character.

Curtain up for: Degedus, or simply Dege

The lovable soprano recorder with a sea-blue plastic headjoint and a body made of European maple wood.

The child-friendly, high-quality combination of materials is a proven recipe for a successful start to making music. Resilient, reliable and euphonious, with a curved windway, it offers a good response over the entire range and balanced intonation. The elegant shape of the recorder’s beak and the sweeping design of the instrument open up a connection to baroque models right from the start.

The wooden body with a hand-finished, oiled surface ensures a pleasant feel and a beautiful sound.

The plastic head facilitates hygienic care by simply rinsing it with lukewarm water and letting it dry outside the bag.

Stimulating the learning process

Each Fipple model is associated with a character that children can identify with. The sea-blue Degedus is a sport’s talent - an inventive recorder speedster who likes to play exuberantly fast melodies.

The colourful world of the Fipples gives the imagination wings and stimulates learning. In addition to the instrument, helpful supporting material is available:

• the adventurous Fipple Story for reading alone or together
• the happy Fipple Song – short musical exercises for a playful start
• the Fipple Game – put it together yourself for tons of fun and excitement.
