ahahah this piece of paper always there when buy new recorder! me and friends always have problem trying to blow the higher octave notes. closing the back hole only half is not easy. to do it accurately

Ha ha. Yeap I usually use a tape to close it half already. So if i want to play a higher octave I just open the holes. So the tape automatically acts as a half hole closed.

lol pro la u. now a days how much is a recorder ?

i think it is still around RM10 for the student type. i am not really sure yet. havent bought any new one.
i've been using the one that i used back in those primary school years.

whats d diff between student ones n professional ones?

i am not really sure also. i just know they sound better and is tuned better. it is pretty obvious when u try to play a sharp or flat key. it will sound out of tune.

but you can also use a cheap one which is not perfectly tune and try to change the positioning of the fingers to make it sound more accurate. that's what i usually do.

i bought a yamaha tenor recorder.. it is really good. cost me around RM60.
by the way the 1 we use in primary is a soprano recorder.

how to tune a recorder...

i usually what i do is pull the head out a little bit. to go to flat...
but if want to go sharp..then there is no way
can adjust as shown in the picture below

that's my way ...dunno if there is any official way to do so. never learn proper way in primary. never listen in class.
so i just do what i think sounds right to me now.
