Just purchased the Alto Recorder. Are the holes suppose to be perfectly aligned on the recorder? Getting a strong whistle with "C"

The holes are slightly offset to accommodate an easier reach for all fingers. Is the whistling on the low C or the high C? Also, which type of fingering are you using - German or Baroque? You may also try adjusting how much breath you are using. Hope this helps!

I use the alto head on a concert flute body to give me the richer tone of the recorder and the versatility of the flutes keys. RecorderFlute?

I tried it out only once and didn't have any sucess with it. contacted the seller and they suggested I try increasing the volume out somewhere on the recorder. I haven't tried that yet. Not much faith in that though but we'll see.

Mine was almost perfect. The intonation was off by a pinch on the third string. It sounded good before the adjustment, and excellent after.

This happened to me once before but it wasn't a problem with the tone arm. I tried to play different records to isolate the problem and it turned out that my vinyl record was defective. There was no visible scratch on the LP so I didn't initially think there was an issue on the music. You may want to check your vinyl or look under the needle to see if some lint has accumulated there.

Mine is exactly the same way. If you're concerned, I would contact schecter directly. Although I can vouch, this is an amazing guitar and schecter usually never messes up. If I understand correctly though, I believe its normal for this guitar.

Hi! :-) Just pull the cover apart, like the lid of a text marker/pen etc., don't unscrew, . The screw-thing is just for justifying the tone/sound of the whistle (deeper or higher frequency).Hope that helps.

I bought some extra tension strings to tune it E-A-D-G-B-e. It didnt work well. It would match the intonation but sounded sloppy. So I re-tuned it A-D-G-C-E-a.

I am trouble shooting my system apparently if the hole u drill is too snug (meaning u can forcefully push the sensor in vs a sliding in like butter) the sensor gets squished (more oval than round) and this causes a reflection of the acoustics being seen prior to leaving the sensor and u get a reading of an obstruction at 0.0 or 0.4 meters from these improperly fitting sensors. I found this out after installing and one hole I drilled larger so the sensor floated a tad but it adhered fine when I siliconed it. Once system was up I kept getting 0.0 and 0.4 readings and constant beeping. I troubleshot (pluging 1 in at a time while car is in reverse and parking break is on) and low and behold only the sensor with the larger hole (which created no side pressure on the sensor case) is operational. Now I need to remove the other 3 and woller out the holes a bit.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers!

I don't have many hours on my instrument yet, but so far, there is no buzzing sound like that, so I am guessing it may be a defect. I would suggest contacting the seller, as it could get worse later. I hope that helps.

I've been using this pot since the early 1980s and the only reason I'm on my second one is use of an abrasive cleanser once when young and stupid. Completely my fault. Anyway, I've never had a problem with the whistles on either pot. I'd return it and get it replaced. You can buy them but you shouldn't have to.

the first day i had the kettle, it was not loud but realized that the pressure (lid seal) was off - not producing much of a whistle... after adjusting my lid, the whistle began to work. it seems that the lid handle needs to be in line with the upper handle to whistle properly/loudly. perhaps that is the ideal spot on mine and others can turn to their ideal spot. but at that point, it is loud. so just a little adjusting (turning) and it is working as anticipated. excellent product.

I have not hear of this before. However, being a professor, he may know something technically correct, however it may not be noticable. Our sax has no detectable leaks. And if ALL saxophones leak, then it may not significantly matter if you buy the LJ Hutchen, or a $5000 model. This sax has a lot of value for the $$.

The hole placement is standard. A soprano recorder is smaller, so the fingers would be placed closer together. However, the soprano plays in a different key than the alto. You would have to learn that fingering.

I see that on mine too....about a 1/2 inch mark extending from each hole. They are not cracks. My guess is it is normal and is done as part of the manufacture process. Probably has to do with proper hole placement to ensure the best intonation. I wouldn't be concerned about it.

Sorry, not sure. After looking inside the whistle, I'd say perhaps chrome-plating over copper.Perhaps you could contact Acme, the manufacturer. It's a wonderful piece.
