'). I bought a Moeck but a friend (now it's too late) tells me that possibly that wasn't a wise choice and I should have bought a Moulder.'

Pay no attention. Moeck makes many fine instruments. Your friend's naysaying is just another element of the strong trend in today's society of disouraging people from making their own music.

I'm just back from a recorder workshop with Frances Blaker and Letitia Berlin. Frances says that 95% on intonation is attention. In other words, it's not the instrument, it's the player that makes the music beautiful.

It's clear that you are aware of that already, tuttifrutti - just letting the world in general know.
