YAMAHA TENOR RECORDER C

This is my first tenor, so I really have nothing to compare it to. I am enjoying it immensely! Regular, daily practice, and my hands are adjusting (stretching) quite nicely. And I have particularly tiny hands. Instrument comes in the standard Yamaha canvas case, with a swab-stick, joint creme, and a thumb rest that you can stick on as needed.

Now that I have had my Tenor Recorder for @2 months, I want everyone know just how much I am enjoying it. At first glance, I was afraid that my relatively small fingers would never be able to stretch so far in order to close the finger holes. I finally got the G note on the left hand, and am now puzzling a similar problem on getting down to D on the right hand- but I will make it. BTW I am 61, and have rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in my fingers, and many times can only practice every other day- but that has been OK. The neck-strap really helped to ease the burden on my hands. I didn't even realize how heavy my recorder was, until I used it. And the 2 thumb rests I bought (one to lose, one to use) were essential, because the dinky little thumb rest that came with the recorder was soon lost.
