Recorders - a little help?

Author: TripleB

I'm thinking of getting my son (5 years old) a recorder. He has shown some interest in playing an instrument since I started playing my tenor saxophone again.

Just from the price standpoint, I would like to start him out with a recorder. I think it would be a good way to start teaching him about music and hopefully it will be simple enough that he can play some tunes he's familiar with.

It seems that you can either get ones in the key of 'C' and ones in the key of 'F'. Do most people use the Key of C recorders? (it seems they are more prevalent)

My question is this: when looking at them there are some that say 'Baroque Fingering' and some that don't (German I guess?). Which one should I purchase for my 5 year old son?

Thank you for your help.
