 Yes, this is an interesting specimen! Here are a couple more pics.
 
 It's marked Conrad Mollenhauer, Fulda. The Mollenhauer company is still in business making recorders, and goes back several generations - there is a bit of family history on their website.
 
 It also has a funky pear-shaped bell, English-horn style. The chimneys under the ring keys are black, and I can't tell if it is a synthetic insert, or has maybe been coated with something, rather than varnished like the rest. Any thoughts?
 
 Thanks Chris for the fingering info.
 
 Joanne
