Recorder parts
The recorder is an old instrument, which used to be made of wood. It was
first named a “recorder” in the thirteenth century, though it became
most popular in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Later, it was
replaced by the flute, which was louder and had more notes. Now, recorders,
mostly made of plastic, are more popular than ever! They are made to
resemble the recorders from the Baroque period hundreds of years ago.
