    Baroque fingering versus German fingering

    Baroque vs German fingering - what's the difference?

    The basic design of recorders was developed hundreds of years ago during the Baroque music period of the 1600's and early 1700's. This classical style is still preferred by many music teachers and schools, mostly because some specific notes play a little better in tune with this design.

    In the 1920's, instrument designers in Germany felt that the standard Baroque recorder was too difficult for beginners to learn, since some notes put the player’s fingers in positions that can feel uncomfortable. Because of this, they made a small change to make those notes easier for a beginner to play. However, there's a trade-off – while the finger positions are easier, those same notes are harder to play in tune.

    You can tell which version you have by looking at the 4th and 5th holes down from the top. If the 4th hole is smaller than the 5th, it's Baroque. If the 4th hole is larger, it's German. If you need a recorder to use in school, check with your teacher to make sure you get the right type!

      My daughter was going to learn recorder in her music class so we got her her own so that she would be less likely to pick up someone elses and rock out with the germ train. She was super excited about it and absolutely loves it. She has serenaded us more than one occasion. It honestly has an okay sound from what I remember from playing recorder as a kid. So, no complaints! (the no earplugs is a joke...but..true...none the less)

      Lord, bless all music teachers
      Make them deaf to off-key renderings
      Of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
      By the little angels in their care.

      Give them the strength to show up for work
      Five days per week for three school terms
      To stand erect without cringing
      During unending stints of recorder lessons.

      Grant them patience and perseverance
      As fat little fingers eagerly seek the tiny holes
      And blow spittle into the mouthpiece
      Without ever once hitting a correct note.

      May their prayers be answered,
      That by the time of the annual prize-giving ceremony
      There shall emerge a miracle child
      To flawlessly perform the obligatory recorder solo

      Grant them serenity during the summer break
      And make them forget
      That come September, a new batch of angels
      Will take up the challenge, as the cycle begins anew.

      When the school curriculum calls for recorder lessons, you don't want to go all out and buy a professional woodwind for your seven or eight year old. Out of pity for the teacher, you also don't want to get the cheapest plastic whistle you can find. If you've ever walked past a third grade group during music period, your ears will agree that the teacher should be canonized as a step towards sainthood, or else he or she may be wearing high quality earplugs.

      This Yamaha recorder is an ideal choice for this application. Not only is the translucent blue a cool and unusual color, but the recorder separates into three pieces for easy cleaning. Therein lies the minor drawback with this instrument, as it doesn't come with the cleaning rod. It however comes with a plastic sleeve and a fingering chart, and is sturdy enough to last until Grade Six and higher. By then, hopefully, you'll be able to determine that it has a great sound for the price.

      Recommended highly for beginners, and for music classes at school.

      I also own an ivory recorder but this one is way better. A little bit of a gross reason, but I like the fact that you can see the condensation of your breath inside the translucent blue. That means you know exactly when to stop playing and when to start cleaning.
