Re: Recorder - Sorry if too off-topic

I played the recorder for many years, starting at age 8, and find little to argue with in what's been said.

But bear in mind that your son may not be too young to start an orchestral/band instrument. Julian Bliss, famously, started playing the clarinet at four. Teachers will tell you that you can't start till you are big and strong and have your permanent teeth - but it isn't true.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
