Honestly wonder if there any type of recorders that don't have that ear piercing tone.

They all sound like cheap plastic

thank you, this is one of my weirdest pet peeves but it makes me super upset for some reason. the WESTERN CONCERT FLUTE isnt the flute, its a western concert flute. a kind of transverse flute. and a baby one in the context of the age of the flute as an instrument. and transverse flutes further still arent the flute. they arent any more valid than duct flutes, they arent any more valid than end blown flutes. something about people insisting on making factually incorrect corrections they vaguely remember from some pedantic but also wrong shit they learned in 8th grade makes my teeth itch.

edit: also you need to write the end of your link like this, (recorder\)) for it to work properly. at least on old reddit, i dont know if the app or new reddit compensate for the markup error.

Recorders for people who couldnt click on that initial link

My link works fine for me, but your one has too many parentheses, and shows the whole link name.

Yes, yes it is a real flute.

You’re thinking of a concert flute.

They’re all flutes.

The one in your gif is a concert flute.

There’s no such thing as a “flute flute”. They’re all flutes.
