I bought the yamaha, thanks for all the info. If this works out then maybe I can look at the alto.

Nice info Don. I used to play sax, which has the same fingering, so I liked to impress the kids with a tune or two when they came home with their plastic white ones. I would imagine that what Don says about playing with a group is pretty important. One note at a time gets old pretty quick. Do you think a recorder might be good for celtic music? Celtic music goes really well with lots of beer! kj.

And for your next trick get one of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombard_(music)
When they say that "Describing it as an oboe, however, can be misleading since it has a very powerful sound, ..." is an understatement. Everyone on the block will know when you are practicing. These things don't need an amplifier - a silencer would be more appropriate. If you hate your neighbours and are deaf, buy one for their children. Louder, shriller and cheaper than bagpipes.

Usually a "tin-whistle" or a regular concert or wooden flute is what is used in Celtic music. The recorder is more for Baroque? early classical? music.
For Celtic music on tin whistles look here http://www.ceolas.org/instruments/Tin.Whistle (plain text "webpage" from 1994! ) and here http://www.clarketinwhistle.com/ (the classic brand mentioned )

One of my claims to fame is that I played in The Royal Albert Hall in London before Hendrix, before Zappa and before Pink Floyd ever did.
I then have to admit that I was one of a thousand school children doing a recorder concert, but hey, I played the Albert Hall!

"I played the Albert Hall!"
That probably outranks playing in Carnegie Hall in the US!

Darn. Are the fingerings similar? kj.
