Yes, *sniff* he appears to be playing an alto recorder.

I'm sorry, I'm so very, very sorry.

Oh, I think the hog-nose psaltery more than makes up for it.

Hello? [taps mike nervously] My name is "Steven", and I'm a recorder player. I have not played the recorder and have only played whistles for 2 weeks. [Sits back down]

With a statement like that, surely you've considered joining Recorderholics Anonymous.

I do have 5 recorders within reach (the tenor is a bit of a stretch), but my whistles now outnumber them 2 to 1, so my money's on the Irish if it comes to a rumble...

Sounds to me like somebody is having a personal struggle with their demons.

Recorder Heresy: take a disposable plastic recorder, ream out the RH2 hole until F# is in tune, tweak RH3 and LH1 a bit, then play Boy's Lament for his Dragon and After the Battle of Aughrim at a brisk pace.

Just don't show the results to Loren!

I see that your definition of "quit" is similar to my friend's when he was trying to give up smoking: put it aside for a while, then pick up where you left off.

Hey bro, I've got no problem at all with the defacement and/or defilement of recorders, just don't let me catch you doing it to any of the ones I made (I know the serial numbers)

Garkleins are only illegal, under the Sullivan Law, when connected together by a legnth of chain or rope or other material so as to be able to swing them, for example, in figure eights.
