Well what it could be; When you blow too soft, no sound comes out of it. When you blow too hard, some screeching comes out of it. So it is quite important to blow 'hard enough', within a certain margin. But that isn't too hard to find :)

Oh god no wonder why the teacher thought I had problems my lord it must have sounded like a dying creature

I once had a recorder (a school recorder) that I used on a test that had a small crack in it on the underside. Whenever I blew air into it, it would make an awful squeaking noise. I failed the test cause the teacher said I wasn't playing it right! Ten years later I went back to the school and played flute for her :D

It shocks me thinking back that learning the recorder allowed me to read sheet music, and play pretty well (if I do say so myself). Now I have no musical instruments that I play, and no inclination to learn either.
One thing I didnt understand as a 9/10 year old was what was the tiny pot of vaseline for in the leather recorder case? |
What songs did everyone have to play? We had to learn hot cross buns, ode to joy, and another song I can't remember the name of.. it was bitch to play though, I do remember that.
In the 5th grade my school also let us take their ukuele's home for a weekend, but my cat was afraid of it so I never played it much. |

What would happen if you used vaseline where there is cork?
