Description
This kids' wooden recorder carries the cheerful Animal Band design, a little group of animal musicians playing their way along a pale natural wood body. A lion, a bear, a monkey and a fox each appear with an instrument of their own, printed in warm reds, oranges and browns that stand out brightly against the light grain. The recorder measures 20cm long and 2.4cm across, a slim size that is easy to hold, and it weighs only 0.033KG, so it sits lightly in the hand. Six note holes run down the front, and it produces simple tones as the fingers move from one hole to the next.
As a toy, it is a lovely way to bring music into everyday play. It slips easily into a toy box, a bag for a day out or a drawer in the playroom, and it looks just as at home on a bedroom shelf, where the band of animals adds a splash of colour between tunes. Children who enjoy making a happy noise can blow gentle notes, try covering different holes and work out the tones for themselves. For families who like to sing together, it gives the youngest member of the band something of their own to play along with.
The recorder is made from wood, shaped into a smooth, rounded body with an angled mouthpiece at the top and a gently flared end. To look after it, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after playing and keep it away from water and direct heat, as is good practice for any wooden piece. Wrapped on its own, it makes a cheerful little gift, and between practice sessions it can rest on a windowsill, ready for the next tune.
