Top quality at the right price on Thomann. Original price too expensive.
maferkan 08.05.2018
I heard and read many positive reviews about the Adris Dream series and I wanted to give it a go. I also bought a Waldorf edition soprano for my partner and I had a chance to play them both and compare them.
The feeling is of top quality, I'm not particularly keen on the darker coloured wooden rings, but that's a subjective view about aestetics. The sound is magnific: warm, sweet, powerful. A bit loud, but of course you would expect that given such a wide open bore. You easily hit the notes and the low D and C are just a pleasure to hear, with the instrument vibrating in your hand.
I still have to add antikondens liquid as the windway is so good in absorbing the moisture.
The original price as indicated by the manufacturer in my opinion is too high when compared to the quality of the Waldorf edition - which to my ears sounds identical and costs 77 vs 130¤ (as of now on mollenhauer.com) - I appreciate the royalties to Adriana Breukink, but it cannot be justified. The price I paid on Thomann is instead fair.

If it's about flutes, to feel the diffetent in sound quality you need to invest a lot. 100E flute will show some advance to 10E flute. And 500E flute will be better sounding than 100E flute.
So I can say - this model sounds quite better in high pitches than my 10E flute but to feel drastic improvement you need flute from higher shell.

Very happy with this instrument.
Atli 05.03.2022
Great quality and sound. I'm very happy with this instrument.

The outlook is not like most recorders which can look weird when playing with others.

Mollenhauer 4119 Adris Dream
Margaret Alexandra 11.10.2014
This is a very nice recorder with a lovely round mellow sound. The larger bore, and fingerholes took me a while to sort out on the upper octave, but this was compounded by the fact that Mollenhauer had failed to clean out all of the sawdust from the bore, which I thought a bit lazy considering the price, which is why I've given quality only 4 stars.

the perfect flute for busking.
Fenyx 17.01.2022
the wide bore is excellent for being heard over passing cars. the extistence of an identical plastic model means my performances are consistent rain or shine. the tone is lovely and its easy to play.

A truly broad dynamic recorder
Hajar Alao 21.05.2022
I love that the key holes are wider than a normal recorder- this makes it a lot easier to play alternative fingering for many notes. The sound is true to its model name as well - they are truly 'dreamy', broad and loud. I absolutely love it.

Wonderful Mellow Sounding Recorder
Bradley James 28.12.2020
I love how mellow this soprano recorder is. It has a beautiful tone and the lowest notes are powerful compared to a baroque style recorder. It looks great too. Very unique.

Exceeded my expectations
Bazil Brush 14.09.2022
It’s been many years since I played the recorder. I purchased this soprano for home use with friends.

The sound is much better than I imagined and I am very impressed. The materials and fit are excellent quality - I cannot fault. Spot-on!

Happy to recommend

Beautiful recorder at very reasonable price
Arpeggio Cat 25.09.2022
I bought this to play van eyck. It has a sweet tone. Very powerful on the Low registry. The bigger bore means it is a bit louder and requires more air. Also the larger holes and the 2-piece structure took me some time to adjust. Overall I am very happy.
