RecorderFriends is a welcoming place for those interested in the recorder...

• Listening to recorder music (live or recorded)
• Playing (or learning to play) any size recorder
• Collecting recorders
• Learning about the recorder and its history
• Learning about instruments for the physically-challenged

All aspects may be discussed in this friendly and helpful atmosphere!

Beginner to pro, kids through adults, Baroque to jazz, on plastic or wood - let's learn through sharing in a supportive environment!

Whether you call it a recorder, flauto dolce, blockflöte, flûte à bec, flauta de pico, or flauto diritto, you're welcome to talk about it here.

Discussion of other instruments and music is welcome also! Ukulele, clarinet, Native American flute, bongos, classical guitar, or crumhorn... tell us about your instrument!

Fun contests are planned!

Extensive recorder links are in our BOOKMARKS section. Feel free to upload photos of your instruments or consort to our PHOTOS section, or add your compositions and sound demos to our FILES.

No rudeness, sarcasm, or flaming allowed; please respect the opinions of others at all times. We are here to help one another!

Please come in and introduce yourself!
