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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Maple Over a Plastic Recorder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWood gives a warmer, less shrill tone and more control at low volume.
