I.C.Denner sopranino in F at A = 415 Hz

Johann Christoph Denner (1655-1707), came to Nuremberg about 1666 and began learning horn-turning with his father. Later, he started making woodwind instruments in the French style based on instruments he saw which were then beginning to appear Germany. In 1696 he petitioned for master’s rights together with Johann Schell (1660-1732) and in 1697 the two were granted rights for the ‘manufacture of French musical instruments consisting chiefly of oboes and recorders.
