Both, in fact (but mainly Vivaldi), and many other Baroque composers, including Telemann. The problems with the recorder (for me, at least) are that 1) you're basically limited to Baroque repertoire; 2) the reward/work ratio is fairly low, as there's very little practical difference between a skilled player and a master; and 3) you don't have as much tone control as with other, more complex wind instruments. |

You sure found a nice way to say "It has unbearable overtones in the hands of a beginner." |

I was under the impression that the tiring tone of the Recorder was due to the fact that it did not have the overtones that other wind instruments have  |

Yes, I agree. I think MJTTOMB speaks of the flutophone! |

I have been listening to Native American flute music lately and some of it is really
wonderful. I think of an eagle soaring when I listen.
