Courtly Music Unlimited proudly announces that we now offer the complete line of Mollenhauer recorders.

As you look for the best in quality and price we offer a value added service that I consider an important one. Elaine personally refines the tuning of all wooden recorders valued over $75.00. She has been doing this for our customers since we opened our doors in 1988. She learned her skills from Alec Loretto, a well know recorder maker from New Zealand. It simply makes a difference. I hope you consider us when making a purchase. We offer competitive pricing on recorders and expert advice on music. If you see a lower price offered by any American Recorder Society Business member this holiday season just let us know and we will strive to match it.

Looking for Yamaha plastic recorders? We have some of the best prices around. We also offer a Yamaha tenor with two added keys for the middle joint at a very affordable price.

For those who already have recorders, we have 4 peg (photo) and 5 peg (photo) recorder stands made of solid oak with solid oak and brass dowels. The stands have a beautiful streamline design. Our bass recorder floor rest has a single peg (photo). The perfect gift that makes playing the bass more comfortable. A fresh shipment of pegs is expected shortly.

Sincerely,
Richie Henzler
