Talk:Bass recorder

Upper Range is Missing
Only the extent of the lower range is discussed and the maximum upper range is not written out. No comparison is made about playing-related differences in relation to the common recorder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.246.199.127 (talk) 08:01, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect: " ... The bass recorder plays an octave lower than the alto or treble recorder. ..."
This sentence is incorrect. It implies that the alto and treble recorders are the same. They are not. The treble recorder has middle C as its lowest note, the alto has F below that. They are two different size recorders and thus play different notes. I have one of each :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E448:D401:E995:1A88:A6CD:AC4D (talk) 04:23, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I presume you have a reliable source for this claim. I personally own more than a dozen recorders of the size with the F above middle C as the lowest note, and they all answer to the call "alto" and "treble".:p—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:47, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * See Recorder_(musical_instrument). "Alto" is the American name, "Treble" is the British name, pitch as mentioned by Jerome above.  You may be confusing them with the "tenor" (same in both dialects) whose lowest note is middle C. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 07:51, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
