 Hi! I recently got a plastic Recorder as a gag (I've been playing Rock and Roll Guitar for 13 years)...and I was amazed at the versatility of the instrument...especially since I had to play one as a kid and hated it! I will soon buy a REAL recorder, since I have been composing songs on  and playing the plastic one so much. I happen to know a lot of good trill fingerings, and would like to know as much about the instrument as possible! Do these fingerings translate to any other instruments??? Like Piccolo for instance? If so, I would LOVE to know! Thanks! Robert

 Here I have a partial answer: 
Fingerings for recorder and piccolo are not the same although  
similarities on a some notes exist. Different types (sizes) of 
recorders exist where the fingerings translate but the sound frequency (notes) will be shifted.

 If you want to know as much as possible about the recorder, 
you must look at Nicholas Lander's Recorder Home Page, 
which is at: 
 
www.iinet.net.au/~nickl/recorder.html 
 
This has everything there is to know, as far as I can see.
