This chart is a general guide, but by no means a definitive or complete fingering chart for the recorder, an impossible task. Rather, it is the basis for a much more complex fingering system, which is still being added to today. Some fonts show miniature glyphs of complete recorder fingering charts in TrueType format. [51]
The alto recorder in F, also known as a treble (and, historically, as consort flute and common flute) is a member of the recorder family. Up until the 17th century the alto instrument was normally in G 4 instead of F 4. [1] [2] Its standard range is F 4 to G 6. The alto is between the soprano and tenor in size, and is correspondingly ...
The soprano recorder in C, also known as the descant, is the third-smallest instrument of the modern recorder family and is usually played as the highest voice in four-part ensembles (SATB = soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Since its finger spacing is relatively small, it is often used in music education for children first learning to play an ...
Just looked at the fingering charts. The fingering for F# in the 3rd octave needs to make it clear that the end of the recorder is covered. Is there any way this can be added easily to the chart (even just an asterisk with a note below)? Also I was a bit surprised by the fingerings for F# and G in the 3rd octave.
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 ...
Tablature (or tab for short) is a form of musical notation indicating instrument fingering or the location of the played notes rather than musical pitches. Tablature is common for fretted stringed instruments such as the guitar, lute or vihuela, as well as many free reed aerophones such as the harmonica. Tablature was common during the ...
The garklein recorder in C, also known as the sopranissimo recorder or piccolo recorder, is the smallest size of the recorder family. Its range is C 6 –A 7 (C 8). [citation needed] The name garklein is German for "quite small", and is also sometimes used to describe the sopranino in G. [1] Although some modern German makers use the single-word form Garkleinflötlein, this is without ...
The great bass recorder is a member of the recorder family. With the revival of the recorder by Arnold Dolmetsch , who chose Baroque music and the corresponding recorder types as a fixed point, consideration was given to the design of recorder types larger than the bass recorder.
