Mollenhauer 6132 Care Set for Recorder

It's just great. Not much to write about it, really.

I love organized systems where everything has it's place and is kept all together in a convenient and easy to use way. This handy kit comes with everything you'll need to take care of your wooden recorder. The beautiful lightly padded zipper case makes it very convenient for travel. I also really appreciate the little informative booklet that comes with it. That was a nice unexpected surprise and very useful for beginners like me.

This kit contains two cleaning rods with microfiber cloths, a large brush swab, a small paintbrush, a pipe cleaner, bore oil, and a bottle of "anticondens" which helps reduce the moisture that can build up in the windway by making it bead up and slide out. All in a nice little zippered pouch that's easy to put in your bag or with your instruments. If the little pieces of microfiber wear out, you could easily use scraps of a lint-free cloth or even gauze sponges for the same purpose. Everything you need for simple recorder maintenance.

I bought this along with my recorder because the price was good and it made sense to order at the same time as my recorder since I live in the US and didn't want to have to pay shipping for this kit alone. I'm glad I bought it, as it has been very useful. The cork grease is easier to use than the one which come with the recorder and having extra cleaning rods is great. Also, I now have the recorder oil and anticondens which I know I will need soon anyway. It just makes sense to get this with your recorder.

If you have a wooden recorder, this care kit is absolutely indispensable. If you are purchasing your first wooden recorder, you will need this kit within the first few months to oil and care for your recorder. The case and contents are very good quality. No cons, only pros, it's great!

Useful, compact. Just what one needs. For the novice I'd recommend a leaflet in German and English explaining oiling and cleaning.

Only a beginer, but want to keep my recorder in tip top condition.

Buy it! For a better experience in caring your recorders. No need to figure out what and where to purchase unique things anymore. Easy to storage with the recorder. My favorite bamboo brush and anti-condenser preparation are in this kit. REMEMBER to keep the linseed recorder oil from high-temperature or it may cause fire.

All the things you need in one case to take care of your recorder .

I have ADHD and struggle to care for my instruments properly. Having everything organised in this kit helps me structure the process and make it part of the practice routine.
Everything feels well made and good for purpose. The kit comes with multiple cleaning swabs, allowing for one to dry fully before it is used again. It is suitable for both plastic and wooden recorders and is very convenient for travel- I took it on a recent visit to my stepmother to accompany her play.
