Baroque recorder is the regular recorder in my opinion. They are the most popular recorder. Yes, You can play sharps and flats.

There are some minor differences Baroque and German fingering. You can play all accidentals with either fingering on this instrument. It is more closed related to today's flute than a toy recorder.

No, it has no oboe fingering option. It only has 3 sax style and 1 flute style.

Not entirely. Recorders (as you know) give you 3 holes for your left fingers, and an octave hole for your left thumb. The EWI gives you 6 contacts for your left fingers, and four octave rollers and a contact strip for your left thumb. Recorders give you 4 holes for your right fingers (or 5 or 6 if your instrument has double holes), and your right thumb is just for support; the EWI gives you 7 contacts for your right fingers, and your right thumb gets a contact pad and two pitch-bending contacts. Despite all that, some notes will offer familiar fingerings for a recorder player. You can shade a hole or do a half-hole on the recorder; on the EWI, you're either touching a contact or you're not. In short, while your experience with recorders will help, you've got some new fingerings to learn on the EWI. And your left pinky is no longer expendable. ;-)

It's not a transposing instrument so in that way it is like a flute or oboe - but music is written in bass clef and the lowest note is F. It uses the same system of fingering as an alto recorder.

No... not in the true sense of the word where pressing lightly yields a quite ("pianismo", if you will!) tone and striking the key gives a louder tone. However, they do offer sustain such that the note will be sustained while you hold down the key. Some sampled sounds even change the longer you hold the key... but, that is more information than you asked for! Good luck with your decision.

Hey Rafael! I don't think you have problem playing with this bass recorder. You may have problem playing tenor model tho... Cheers!

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

the Q4, so far for me, has recorded various types of music nicely. i've not had the opportunity to record anything "classical/symphonic" yet. the key to getting a good recording with the Q4 is picking the appropriate setting on the Three-position MIC GAIN switch...either AUTO or manual, H - High sensitivity (for ﬁeld recording), M - Medium sensitivity (for solo and chamber music performances) or L - Low sensitivity (for band performances and concerts).

I kind of doubt it is good for a classical myself, not because of the width, but because this capo is curved for contact points on the frets. Look at the picture, it's a curved capo. It's not about the width, the classical guitar has a flatter fretboard. Steel string guitar fretboards have a curve; I have many. Look for something that is meant specifically for classical guitars. I have a classical myself, so I vote no about this being appropriate for a classical guitar. It's likely going to put more pressure on the outer E strings and not do the job on the interior strings due to the curvature. I haven't used a capo for classical so I can't make a recommendation, but there must be something out there.

If the technique of the player is correct, it requires more right hand finger power and will project more, it is not just a tonal thing. Speed of note playing is faster and the left hand hammer/pull offs are easier to execute with more volume. Some of my instruments have High Tension and some have Extra High Tension and some I use the Titanium for broadened tone and projection.

Almost! The two subholes are rather tricky but if you play a recorder you should have no problem adjusting to the new instrument. I havent touched a recorder since i bought the ocarina. Its just a lot funner to play in my opinion. The notes ascend as you let go of holes from the tip of the instrument, to the top, followed by the Holes under the instrument, followed by your pinky last.

yes, and while you can play the alto solo using any music written for any recorder while still using soprano fingering, if you were to try to play a duet on an alto playing along with a soprano , you would need to learn different notation/fingering for the alto. Too much for me. I play solo.

I'm not a musician, bought a Yamaha Alto recorder (YRA-312B Key 'F') for my daughter. Are Alto recorders available in any key other than 'F'? All the Yamaha Alto recorders that I manage to find online as well as on Yamaha catalogue "OM84R3_recorders_eu.pdf" are in Key 'F'. So not the most appropriate answer for your question but key 'F' may be the only available option.

From reading the customer reviews, it says that the YRA-312 is a reddish brown ( rosewood) simulated woodgrain finish, while YRA-314 is a lighter brown woodgrain finish. I have the reddish color and just think it's pretty and looks classy. it's a great recorder ( both). Try buying the "Sweet Pipes" Vol. 1 and 2 ( when you can find it ) for learning one note at a time, then practicing several short tunes using just the notes you have learned.

The fingering is somewhat different but the principle of lifting the fingers in sequence is similar to the recorder. It is not difficult to learn. The main problem is that it is out of tune with the recorders and with the piano. It is beautiful played by itself but don't expect to play in concert with other instruments.

To be honest, I've always been naturally able to pick up most instruments and play them immediately; Piano, guitar, drums...However this was not the case with the cello. It's very difficult to keep the notes from squeeking horribley when bowing the instrument. That being said, with the right instructor and a lot of practice, I believe anyone can play any instrument. Try it out! You'll have a deeper respect for cellists. :)

Well... given the way a recorder is fingered, I can tell you that these measurements might not be what's needed. You will likely not have any problems with left hand notes. How far can you stretch the distance from your right hand index finger to your right hand pinky? That will give me the information to tell you if you could play a low C (all holes covered).
