Re: Recorders

Ken ,that's a well written answer you've done. As for the thumb rest if one is going to go to that much trouble just be careful what glue you use, remember it's a plastic instrument most likely and some glues have solvents that 'eat' plastic. I have a Soprano (Descant ) and Alto Yamaha and also a pair of Aulos plastics. The Aulos is also a quality recorder.
I find the windway of the Yamahas more narrower (thinner) than the Aulos's which means one has more problems with condensation but that's a problem that plastic recorders have mostly. Wooden ones less so .
After a fair bit of Clarinet playing , it's nice to go back to the old 'English (fipple) Flutes' and have a bit of a toot. A lovely sound.
