Caring for your Wooden Recorder

All wooden recorders need to be oiled from time to time in order to protect them from the moisture generated during playing. Oiling maintains beauty of sound and response.
Without oil the wood would lose its lustre and the surfaces of the bore would become rough. It may even develop cracks or suffer alterations in dimensions as a result of expansion when playing and subsequent shrinkage when drying out.

Wooden recorders, which wood suits my tone best ?

The main factor influencing the sound of a recorder is the design of the instrument. However, the type of wood used also influences the sound. Which wood is “best” really depends on an individual’s idea of sound as well as on the purpose for which the instrument will be used.
