2. The Recorder
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are…. Oh, your neighbor’s daughter is being a virtuoso again! Maybe you are experiencing a bad déjà vu? A bad horror movie about you, the third-grader, and The Recorder? It seems, that this musical instrument sends shivers down the spine to many others! If you ever asked yourself whether the recorder is a serious musical instrument while listening to its high-pitched sound, here’s the answer! It is, and it sounds very distinctive, probably due to its whistle mouthpiece. Folks in the Middle Ages quite liked it! Today the situation is a little bit different. Nevertheless, there’s actually a number of professional recorder players! If you didn’t know, even Bruce Springsteen played it on some of his tracks.
