That is why his instruments reached a quality, that recorder makers from around the world consider a model.@+@+Fred Morgan left a valuable legacy: Results of decades of research, instruments, recordings...@+@+It is a responsible task to preserve this legacy, evaluate and develop it. Therefore, a comprehensive and forward-looking partnership between Fred Morgan's wife, Ann, and Mollenhauer has now been established.@+@+Fred Morgan had plans, which he unfortunately could not realise: For a broad reception of the results of its work, he wanted to build high-quality, yet affordable serial recorders on the basis of his knowledge and decades of research.@+@+If we want to continue Fred Morgan's plans today, a striking instrument presents itself immediately from his inheritance: An alto recorder in high pitch (440Hz) developed from an original instrument by Jacob Denner (1681-1735), which is kept in Copenhagen.@+@+Fred Morgan developed this ""high Denner"" originally for the Danish recorder player Michala Petri, displaying the whole art of recorder making: A recorder with all the advantages of the original instrument, enormous dynamic stability and especially in the high pitches a richness of sound, matching the highest requirements.@+@+Our DENNER- alto recorder Mollenhauer & Morgan has been developed from this instrument, based on Fred Morgan's records.@+@+It joins our DENNER ensemble, which has already been specially awarded: by the German Musical Instrument Prize for the DENNER soprano recorder.@+@+Thus a wish of Fred Morgan comes true: To present the results of his research to a large group of players by a series of high-quality instruments...
