After having my cancerous prostate whipped out I had to have a catheter inserted into my bladder for about a week. When I had the catheter removed (day before yesterday) I discovered that I would have to re-learn how to control my bladder!! So, for instance, when I blow my nose - I stream a fair bit of urine. Of course that means blowing my sax is out of the question for the next few weeks.
So I decided to get something "a little gentler" to blow, and got a tenor recorder. It has a lovely tone, as you would expect from a Yamaha, even the student model. So I'm hoping to master the rudiments whilst waiting to get back to my saxes. Just goes to show - every cloud had that silver lining!!
I do find the tone-holes to be quite a stretch though, and assume I will "flex" into them. Any new recorder players out there find the same problem (or I should say - challenge).?
