I decided that I wanted to learn to play bass recorder. Since I can't even play a tenor recorder properly (my fingers don't stretch far enough to cover the holes properly), a real bass is out of the question. Alto recorders, however, are in the same key as bass recorders. So I got myself a second alto recorder that I can pretend is a bass.

Lesson number one, of course, is that the sharps and flats are not in the same place in the bass clef as they are in the treble clef.

Hallo InstrumentenbauerInnen,

ich hab ein Problem mit dem Block meiner Flöte, gerade repariert, beginnt er schon wieder, sich herauszuschieben, so dass er übersteht.

Hat jemand damit Erfahrung?

Und: Ist es ratsam, eine gebrauchte Meisterflöte zu kaufen?

It's been a busy day, but now it's time for a little relaxing recorder music:

Suche längere Solo-Stücke für Alto Recorder, ich mag besonders Händel und Mossi, Ernest Krähmer und auch Jazz.

mittel bis schwierig wäre gut

Do you play the alto #recorder?
Here's a web page with some sheet music for short tunes that fall within the limits of its range:

I tried warming up my (plastic) alto recorder by putting the mouthpiece inside my shirt this evening.

Pros: I can get through a practice session without condensation stopping play (unlike the diluted detergent solution, which I have tried previously. It was better than nothing, but this is the best solution I've found so far.).

Cons: I get to taste myself. (Using the detergent solution results in being able to taste detergent when I play.)

I would prefer my recorder mouthpiece to be plastic-flavour (aka no flavour at all), but that doesn't seem to be an option so far.

I went through some of my sheet music last night to try and find something to play on my alto recorder that isn't from Del's Dance Book, and found nothing that wasn't out of range of the instrument.

If I'm going to play jazz, I'm going to have to relearn a C tuned instrument.
