How short are you, if you can cover the end hold with your thigh lol. Not that it's not possible: it's just not very pleasant listening for your audience.
You're really pushing the limits of that plastic schoolchild instrument. You can get away with that in kindergarten, but probably not above elementary school. Are you seriously trying to use a plastic Yamaha for performance?! Sadly, the recorder's limitations are there. That is all that is ever written for baroque music. The baroque traverso shares a lot in common with your recorder fingering: that has an octave span from low D/low C (*in some) to third octave A. There are many alternative fingerings (you call them cross-fingerings on the recorder) used with keys in the flute.
The flute is more refined: you can control and bend the overtones. The harmonic overblows are different from the recorder: your recorder uses a fipple and you can only overblow so much and suffer with a high shrieking volume. The transverse flute goes 3 1/2 octave span (comfortably) and practically 4 octaves,with a low B foot, high E, D, C, B gizmo keys on the most expensive. Thumb pinch + 1, 3, 4, (1/2 of 6) and little finger down (1/2) is what I use for the 3rd octave. Without knowing any of your specifics, the fingering for the third octave D (I don't play miniature recorder! I do have a bass recorder though, so it's not the same D6 as you're referring to but the fingering probably is) I presume you're not playing a plastic Aulos or Suzuki one.anyway, hunt down the fingering charts from your recorder's manufacturer. There are a number of alternative fingering charts for Mollenhauer (from their website), as well as quite a range for other makers (Moeck, Adri-Dream blah blah). Some recorders have wider than 2 octaves +/- 1 or 2 notes. It really depends which recorder you are playing on. Is flute and other woodwinds like this too or are they a bit easier in this regard? Previously I had always assumed that brass instruments were the only instruments that could produce more than one tone with the same lengh of tubing (slide position etc), but with recorder there is actually more than just one that I had previously been aware. (please forgive me if I'm using this term wrong.)
F NOTE RECORDER SERIES
If anyone knows correct fingering i'd be really appreiciateve because i really don't want to have to take it an octave down.Īlso does anyone know if the transverse flute is similar to recorder in respect to harmonic series etc. that would mean I'd need fingering for high f. I'm working on flute concierto (that I'm told was originally written for recorder) that goes up to and trills on high e. Ive been practicing them, and got them to sound a little better by playing softer, which is real hard, because unlike the lower notes, you actually have to blow harder to get the correct tone. They sound like they are being squeaked or overblown, but thats the only way I can produce them. My fingering charts only go up to high d, but I've already figured out a couple semitones higher.
