I knew a woman, who, for some unknown reason, decided (in her 70’s) that a Recorder was the musical instrument of choice. At the time, I had no idea what she was talking about. Except for the fact that she wouldn’t play it with her teeth in....
My father gave me a soprano around '62 and by '70 I had a sopranino, soprano, alto and tenor. Unfortunately my sisters ran "experiments" on them that included candle-wax, so none are in particularly good shape anymore.
I quit playing... well... about the time I met LoM. Otherwise I'd probably be playing in an early music group. We have (had?) a very active Recorder Society in Seattle.
But for the dulcimer, mine were all wind. But for the recorder, LoM's were/are all string.
