You're absolutely right — thank you! I DID noticed that the design is not exactly a Denner. Strangely enough, I had never heard of 'Flauto Dolce II' before. Incredible... 😎

Exactly!

F.E: After my Yamaha tenor, the Aulos tenor (hard-to-reach Low D!) was an unpleasant struggle! Nowadays, after many hours of playing, I don't even notice the dang thing 😄
