Description
Printable alto recorder with focus on quality. It is tuned on F with A = 440Hz (modern tuning). It is completely printable on a RepRap printer (I own a Prusa i3).
The instrument is capable of producing two full chromatic octaves, as well as part of a third octave. It doesn't fully work straight out from the printer, though. It requires a bit of work before it plays nice.
The fingering is the modern "baroque" or "English" fingering used in modern recorders. Note that this fingering is slightly different from the one used in school recorders, the "german" fingering. Check this page for the full fingering
If you want to build one, wait a bit until I write an instructable with the full instructions. Thanks for your interest!
