Hi,
I have been involved with early music for some time and know my way around recorders.
I see you are from Massechusetts. If you are close to Boston, visit Von Huene workshop on route 9 in Brookline and talk to Eric Haas or Nick Von Huene. They cah advise you on all on your questions. This is a highly repudable shop and Frederick Vo Huene is one of the pioneers and fathers of the modern professional quality recorder.
You really cannot go wrong with Yamaha plastic recorders they have very good intonation and all seem to play equally well. They are often the choice for people who are learning a new size and dont want to spend a lot . Sopranos run under $40 and would be the best choice to start, especally for a six year old. It probably is q good idea to find a teacher. You might check the American Recorder Society website for members in your area. If you live south of Boston, I can put you in touch with a good one. E-mail me. Does your school have a program?
