Alternate
Fingering Chart for Recorder
First
Octave: B3 to B4 / E4 to E5
This
fingering chart includes both basic fingerings and alternatives that are more
appropriate in some passages. Some alternate fingerings are designed for fast
passages, while others modify the tone, color, or pitch at normal and extreme
dynamic levels. The fingerings apply to all sizes (sopranino, soprano, treble/alto,
tenor, bass, and great bass) of both English and German recorders unless specified
otherwise. Note that the fingerings apply to the lower set of notes for C instruments
(soprano, tenor, and great bass) and to the upper set of notes for F instruments
(sopranino, treble/alto, and bass).
