| Notes: | Jacob Denner (b Nuremberg, 1681; d Nuremberg, 1735), the eldest son of the instrument maker Johann Christoph Denner (born Leipzig), continued his father's work, making recorders, flutes, oboes and clarinets. He was employed at several courts as "Stadtmusicus" (city musician) and oboist (eg. at Bayreuth and Ansbach). Doppelmayr (1730) describes Jacob Denner as not only "a world-famous master of his own and other instruments but . . . specially remarkable for his oboe playing." See Kirnbauer & Thalheimer (1995).

| Given name(s): | Johann Christoph |
| Dates: | 1655-1707 |
| Provenance: | Nuremberg, Germany |

| Notes: | Johann Christoph Denner (b Leipzig, 1655: d Nuremberg, 1707) was the son of Heinrich Denner, a turner of game whistles and hunting horns. His earlier instruments are renaissance in style, but about 1684 when new-style instruments were brought into Germany from France, Denner was quick to realize the advantage to be gained from adopting the new designs. His workmanship was of such a quality that he soon gained fame beyond his own country. His surviving instruments include recorders, shawms, oboes, rackets, bassoons, rackets, and the clarinet. The invention of both the baroque racket and the clarinet have been credited to Denner. Maker's mark: ·I·C DENNER (scrolled)/ D On the foot-joint of one of his early instruments there is a stamp "I.C." (Johann Denner ?) and "Felbinger 1682". Felbinger may have been the owner of the instrument. The I.C. DENNER mark was clearly used by other makers after Denner’s death in 1707, through the mid-eighteenth century (Kirnbauer 1992). |

| Dates: | late 17th - 18th centuries |
| Provenance: | Nuremberg, Germany |

| Notes: | It is not always possibly to distinguish between the work of father and son or even the "forgotten" brother Johann Carl, who made "nothing but recorders and flageolets". |

| Given name(s): | Johann Carl |

| Notes: | Kirnbauer (1992) has argued that the plain mark "D" which has been attributed without cause to Johann Christoph Denner is more likely to have belonged to the "forgotten" brother Johann Carl, who made "nothing but recorders and flageolets". |
