I haven't touched a recorder in decades. But I play the clarinet and saxophone, and a little while ago on a lark I picked up a tin whistle.
Do cheap recorders in the hands of non-recorder woodwind players sound considerably better than cheap tin whistles in the hands of non-tin whistle woodwind players? Because that tin whistle sounded awful in my hands.
I'm going to go ahead and say yes. Never heard a tin whistle, but recorders sounded decent with light pressure and a mind for intonation. Kids just blast them and don't even know what intonation is hahaha
I can almost guarantee you that's not true..
It's similar to a recorder, but smaller and with a much brighter tone, so possibly harder to get the best sound out of.
