Which one of these recorder flutes will be more suitable for me?

I come from the tin whistle world, and I have a slow, wide, and stable airstream.
My only experience with the recorder has been the Mollenhauer Fipple. It’s supposed to be easy, but not for me. My blowing doesn’t come out clear at all, and my fingering isn’t good either. Maybe the fact that I have big hands doesn’t help.

I’m looking for a recorder that can give me a different experience — one that doesn’t have a schoolish tone and has fingering that works well for big hands. I’ve seen the Mollenhauer Adri’s Dream 4119 soprano recorder in pearwood. Do you think it would be suitable for me, or is there a better option?

Follow up to my latest post https://www.reddit.com/r/euphonium/comments/1ssyyba/which_are_the_main_challenges_when_it_comes_to/, where I explain I have dyspraxia and cross-laterality and I was looking for a suitable instrument for me to learn.

Finally, I have decided that my instrument will be the Alto Horn Thomann AH 403L https://www.thomann.es/thomann_ah_403_l_altohorn.htm and I will learn with the course of Siobhan Edwards. https://www.blackdykeband.co.uk/category/elearning/tenor-horn/beginner-tenor-horn/

Where I live there are no teachers of the instrument so I choose this course which seemed to be fine for me. What do you think? Is it a good choice?
