Thread Name: Recorder sounds like a whistle
Subject: RE: Recorder sounds like a whistle
I got a Hopf Silberton soprano a few years ago. German fingering, very heavy, silver plated brass. Lovely sound in the third octave though you need to experiment with the fingerings. There is a design trick - a stud inside the bore that corrects the tuning.

Foky-Gruber made a few sterling silver ones after leaving Hopf. I've not seen one of those.
