Hi, surprised you had to explain what a recorder was - I would hope most people would know. It's widely used in Baroque music, and now and then in folk, even I think prog.
If you had Orff instruments in early school years you probably played a slightly modified descant (soprano) recorder. The same instrument used to be much used in elementarly schools in the States.
OK, enough of that, we'll see what this band sounds like. Never heard of them. Thanks for making it available!
