2. Recorder (musical instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder_(musical_instrument)

   A recorder designed for German fingering has a hole five that is smaller than hole four, whereas baroque and neo-baroque recorders have a hole four that is smaller than hole five. The immediate difference in fingering is for F (soprano) or B ♭ (alto), which on a neo-baroque instrument must be fingered 0 123 4–67.

3. Soprano recorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soprano_recorder

   In German fingering the note f 2 is playable with a simpler fingering than the Baroque technique's forked (or cross-) fingering. However, German fingering has been described as a "step backwards ... made on the false assumption that the instrument would be easier for schoolchildren". The disadvantage is that other, unavoidable cross-fingerings ...

4. Sopranino recorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopranino_recorder

   The sopranino recorder is the second smallest recorder of the modern recorder family, and was the smallest before the 17th century. This modern instrument has F 5 as its lowest note, and its length is 20 cm. It is almost always made from soft European or tropical hardwoods, though sometimes it is also made of plastic. A Baroque style sopranino ...

5. Alto recorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alto_recorder

   The F alto is a non-transposing instrument, though its basic scale is in F, that is, a fifth lower than the soprano recorder and a fourth higher than the tenor (both with a basic scale in C). So-called F fingerings are therefore used, as with the bassoon or the low register of the clarinet, in contrast to the C fingerings used for most other ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingering_(music)

   Bach's new fingering retained many features of the conventional fingering up until that point, including the passing of one finger under or over another (playing many of Bach's works requires such fingering, especially passing the third finger over the fourth or the fourth finger over the fifth.), but introduced the far greater use of the thumb.

7. Talk:Recorder (musical instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Recorder_(musical...

   The main problem with German fingering (if you ask me) is that upper b (on the alto), with an isolated little finger in the right hand, is rather uncomfortable for small hands and tricky to always get perfectly right, especially in fast jumps, also, the sound quality of that note isn't good (murky and can't be modulated much).

8. Venova - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venova

   The body of the Venova is composed almost entirely of ABS resin, and utilizes fingering systems derived from Baroque and German recorder convention to chromatically span two octaves in the key of C (in the case of the YVS-100). [3] As such, Yamaha markets this instrument as a "casual woodwind instrument". [1]

9. Western concert flute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_concert_flute

   Throughout the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, transverse flutes were very uncommon in Europe, with the recorder being more prominent. The transverse flute arrived in Europe from Asia via the Byzantine Empire, where it migrated to Germany and France. These flutes became known as "German flutes" to distinguish them from others, such as the ...
