Hi Anastasia...definitely don't try vibrato yet! I didn't get that down until I was an adult, and only because I learned it for singing. But once you get better playing, you can start focusing on things like vibrato. However, for breathing, do figure out approximately how many measures you can get ...

Or you can play the alto with soprano fingerings. The notes won't be the same, but it will sound fine, I think. The melody will just be moved a few tones down.

Wow, so many replies. Thank you for the advice, everybody. then starting to string them back together while still resisting temptation to start speeding up or linking too much too soon just to hear what it might sound like Guilty :) don't fall into the trap of thinking you can play anything if you j...

I'd appreciate some help with its identification.
I don't know what its tone is, I suppose a C, but i'm not sure and it generally sounds off-tune.

Greetings and welcome! I think a recorder should be able to handle early music as well as most kinds of folk music (not to mention many eras of art music!) I know there are whistley type instruments native to the Balkans and so forth that may (or may not) be more appropriate to those musics. As for...

Hello, hello everybody! I just joined the forum, looking for some information about wind instruments, and it seems very interesting, I must say. I "normally" play the guitar, and I never was really interested in them. So, some days ago, I found an old wooden flute/recorder in a drawer and ...
