The Recorder is now known to be an instrument for children used in schools and colleges, but not always the case.
the recorder or flute was very popular since the Middle Ages to the Baroque, a period that was overshadowed by the progress in the construction of instruments.
instrument use declined after the eighteenth century.
was not until the twentieth century when the Recorder is booming, from the interest in using original period instruments for the interpretation of Renaissance and Baroque music.
Today Recorder is made of Bakelite and other plastic products, but can also be found made of wood.
is very widespread use in the school world as it is an instrument with a relatively simple technique, but to be touched much expertise is necessary to study, as with any other instrument.
Many are the composers of the last two centuries have written works for Flute and even is also used in popular urban music.
The Recorder includes a record of just over two octaves and is often tuned in C (Flute Soprano), although other family instruments are tuned in F, like the bass flute.
The following video you can hear me playing the wooden soprano recorder (the one in the picture) playing the theme from the soundtrack of the movie "Schindler's List"
