G'day leeneia,

I'm glad to hear it went pretty well. I guess that 7(+)ºC does start to qualify as coolish ... 12(+)ºC doesn't really!

I had been intending to pass on one tip in the earlier thread ... but someone else already suggested you could warm your recorders silently by closing your hand over the whistle ... while you blew your warm breath through the instrument.

I often do this with whistles - if & when it gets cold, around here in New South Wales (Australia) ... in fact, I usually cover the whistle with my right hand and use my left hand to cover as many holesas I can. This keeps the warm air working all the way down the whistle. At the end, I give a hard, sharp puff to stir up any condensation. Once I'm playing, I rarely have any appreciable condensation.

Regards,

Bob
