Recorder is not just a musical instrument, but a whole set of musical instruments of different sizes. In principle, if you can play one, you can play one.

Most of us are familiar with the soprano recorder, but it comes down to the Garklein recorder.
All the way up to the huge subwoofer, one of my favorites to play is the bass recorder, so it’s not too loud and squeaky. The range of sounds it can make is the second largest: you can play any kind of music on the recorder.

The instrument is very old, the earliest instrument recorded and discovered is actually 1940s.

Remember a few tips

If your recorder squeaks, it means that one of your fingers has an air leak.

It’s not about pressing harder on your fingers to count the instrument because that will only create tension instead.

Expluse the air always steady and flowing as we do this. Just make your fingers a little bit more flexible and try to cover all the holes in your recorder.
