History of Recorders
The Recorder is a very old woodwind instrument that is from the ancient family called the internal duct flutes. It has been around for over five hundred years in various forms. Despite its long history, it is often looked upon as a toy or a child’s instrument. To the contrary, the recorder is a venerable instrument and should be taken seriously. Recorders of the past were mainly constructed from wood, yet many today are made of plastic. In fact, manufacturers produce approximately 3.5 million plastic recorders per year, according to Nicholas Lander's Recorder Home Page. Its mouthpiece is a plug that creates a shaped windway. However, what distinguishes the recorder from other internal duct flutes are its seven finger holes and single thumb hole, which is known as an octave vent.
