Recorders

When most people hear the word “recorder”, they think of those cheap plastic instruments used by elementary schools to introduce kids to music.  However, it takes a lot of skill to play the recorder well.  Aulos and Yamaha both make some excellent higher-end plastic recorders.  A surprising number of theatre shows have recorder parts in them.  Brian has an eclectic collection of both plastic and wooden instruments.
