Why Choose Maple Over a Plastic Recorder?
Wood gives a warmer, less shrill tone and more control at low volume. A plastic recorder is more durable and cheaper, which is why schools issue them, but a wooden instrument sounds better in a recital.
Is a Soprano Recorder the Right Size to Start On?
Yes. Soprano in C is the standard beginner and classroom size, and nearly all method books are written for it.
Does a Wooden Recorder Need Looking After?
Yes. Play it in gradually over the first weeks, swab the bore after playing and keep it away from radiators. Treated properly it will outlast a plastic one.
Why Hohner
Matthias Hohner started making harmonicas in Trossingen, Germany in 1857, and the company has made more of them than anyone else since. The reason a Hohner turns up in the hands of blues players, buskers and session musicians is not nostalgia, it is that the reed plates are consistent from one instrument to the next and replacement parts stay available for models that have been in production for decades.
