In England, Arnold Dolmetsch was one of the people who was famous for this. ![]() In the 1900s people wanted to play old music with old kinds of instrument. Flutes are also better for playing music which needs many chromatic notes. Flutes are good for playing music which has a large range of notes. In the picture at the top of the page, one of the recorders is in three parts.įrom the second half of the 1700s, people preferred to play the flute and clarinet instead of the recorder. They were also made in several parts that fitted together. They were thinner than Renaissance recorders. Recorders from this time are called Baroque recorders. They also wanted them to play more difficult music. In the 1600s, the people who made recorders tried new ways to make them sound better.

The treble and tenor recorders sound at written pitch the sopranino and descant, an octave higher the bass, the music for which is written in the bass staff, also sounds an octave higher.Many people played the recorder in Europe in the 1500s and 1600s. Other, less commonly used recorders include the gar klein Flötlein in C‴ sopranino in f ″ great bass in c and the contra bass in F. Most recorders are made in the following sizes (note names referring to the lowest note c′ = middle C): descant (soprano) in c″ treble (alto) in f′ tenor in c′ and bass in f. Larger recorders may have one or more keys. The upper register, at the octave, is obtained by “pinching” the thumbhole (flexing the thumb to make a narrow opening above the thumbnail). Often the lowest two holes are arranged as a pair, so that when one is left open it produces the semitone above the note made when both are covered. Most recorders made since their revival in 1919 by the English instrument maker Arnold Dolmetsch follow the early 18th-century Baroque design: the cylindrical head joint is partly plugged to direct the wind against the sharp edge below, the plug being known as the block, or fipple the body tapers, and its lowest part is usually made as a separate foot joint and there are seven finger holes and one thumbhole. Recorder, in music, wind instrument of the fipple, or whistle, flute class, closely related to the flageolet.
