[Artemisia] Fwd: [schattentor] To the Musically Inclined

Greetings, John,
 
Just hazarding a guess, as it is difficult to diagnose instrument problems without seeing or handling the instrument itself. .   It sounds like there is a leak somewhere. Could be one of two problems.   Is it a two piece instrument?   If so, first thing to check is the seal of the joint.   if not, there could be a very small hairline crack in the instrument.   Check by plugging the end, covering all holes, and blowing thru the instrument (no mouthpiece of course- if a one piece instrument, you will have to put the whole mouthpiece in your mouth to cover the fipple).   Listen carefully for a hiss of escaping air, or a lessening in pressure as you blow.   If you find a crack, a good sealant may help the problem.
 
Aside from this, there are relationship ratios that could be affecting the playability - much too technical for this venue.   Try these suggestions, and let me know how it works.

        Greetings 
I need some help, I have been busy making recorders here and have run 
into a problem that research has not been able to sort out. The 
problem is that I can get decent notes from the top four holes of the 
recorder but by the first of the bottom four holes the notes become 
very breathy and faint finely it takes a little overblowing to produce 
sound from the bottom three holes which takes everything up an 
octive. If anyone knows where I can get the answer from or has the 
answer I would appreciate the knowledge.

Thanks
John
