Does anyone know if the Easttop forerunner in D is higher pitched than the C or is it a low D? I have another Easttop thats a low D.

A few minutes ago, I discovered I've been playing F wrong on the 1st octave of my soprano recorder. I've been playing it the same way one would play on a flute or a C whistle. Thumb and left hand all down and only my index finger down on the right hand. When I play F according to the charts it's slightly flatter but I've never thought my F sounded bad.

Does anyone else play F like that? Fast scale runs are a lot harder the "correct" way. Are my ears getting too old?

I'm on the horns of a dilemma. I have a Vangoa ewi 100 which, after getting used to the breath dynamics, I really enjoy playing. The most difficult thing to get used to is changing octaves. Especially going from D down to B or A and back quickly.

What I really like about the Vangoa is there are alternative fingerings for B, C, and D so I can easily go back and forth using my pinky keys instead of moving my thumb.

Here's the dilemma. I'm looking at the Carry-On DWI 2 pro. It's inexpensive, has 65 voices, note bending and portmenteu.

The only thing I'm concerned about is, there doesn't seem to be as many alternate fingerings and some sharps and some fingerings are quite unusual. For example, Eb uses your left pinky instead of the right. Very unusual for a flute and recorder player like me.

I'm sure I could learn it after awhile but I'm still uncertain.

Does anyone play the Carry-on DWI 2 pro who can give me more info on octave changes and alternate fingerings?
