Jon HancockIn the unlikely event that you find yourself needing virtual instrument files of baroque and renaissance recorders, to use with software like Garageband, I finally found a library of free downloads. Follow the link, then click on the Community Edition:<a href="https://versilian-studios.com/the-recorder/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://versilian-studios.com/the-recorder/</a>There are WAV and .SFZ format files. Seems like every program out there has flutes, whistles, oboes and even Cor Anglais, but recorders are weirdly rare.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sampling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sampling</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Recorder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recorder</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicalInstruments</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAW</a>

Jon HancockCharming instruction leaflet included. Apparently I have to go and introduce the instrument to infants and school children, which sounds a little formal but I guess it's good for it to make friends locally.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Melodica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melodica</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicalInstruments</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Suzuki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Suzuki</a>

Jon HancockMelodica take two.The cheap and faulty model is going back for a refund, replaced by this rather better instrument. Decided to go for a known brand, made in Japan, instead of another dip into the vast ocean of all plastic, mainly identical Chinese offerings, which are very much built to a price. Of course, Suzuki will also be building to a price, but when you consider that the most expensive melodica (or melodion, as they confusingly call them) in their range sells for north of £1,000 it's clear that they don't let mass sales be the only factor.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Melodica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melodica</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicalInstruments</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Suzuki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Suzuki</a>

Jon HancockIn an attempt to learn the basics of playing a keyboard instrument I have spent the princely sum of £14 on a plastic melodica. As you might expect, most of the options at this end of the scale are in garishly bright colours to appeal to children. Luckily, I was able to find this one which is made from a recycled 1970s bathroom suite.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicalInstruments</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Melodica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melodica</a>
