#Stanesby and his father, along with Peter #Bressan, were the finest makers of #recorders and #flutes in England at this period. This alto recorder in F' is stamped "STANESBY/IUNIOR/F," and has a flutelike foot joint, perhaps in response to the growing popularity of the transverse flute by the 1720s.
