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.
If I could find one that coincides with money and opportunity, I’d get one in a heartbeat!
And then I’d begin to learn the history of the instrument as it pertains to the history of the Scots.
I was a Duncan before I married Igor, but I was a Stewart LONG before that!
I need to research the Castles....but there were so MANY!
(LOL!)
