Hi
Does anyone know how to make glissandos of the recorder? Is there a special embouchure for it? Thank you in advance.

There is no real problem doing glissando on the recorder. It is done using the fingers so no special embouchure is needed. You just raise the fingers slowly, gradually uncovering the holes a bit at a time. The only problem is if the gliss crosses one of the breaks (soprano recorder D - E or A - B). These can't be done easily as the recorder has to jump from one register to the next with an audible click.
