There are a number of people playing recorder at all levels in the folk revival, but I'm not aware of any recorder players from the actual English tradition - if there were I'd be interested to learn of them.

This puts it alongside the (Spanish) guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, etc as an instrument of the modern revival rather than a proper English folk instrument. It's got no more authenticity than the other instruments WAV would prefer to see replaced by good English instruments.

Is an electronic keyboard English, by the way?
