Built-In Fingerings:

 

The built-in fingerings are outlined in the document  Built-In.gif or RecorderBuiltIn.PICT which you can open with your web browser or some other graphics programme.  This contains all a picture of the appropriate keys to which you can print or otherwise refer.

 

For alto or bass recorders, obviously the fingerings need to be transposed up a perfect 4th to be read correctly.

 

 

Making Your Own Fingerings

 

Press ` to get the blank tablature, then press the numbers to 'fill in' the holes.

           o   <- 2

           o   <- 3

          ---

           o   <- 4

           o   <- 5

   7 ->  o o   <- 6

   9 ->  o o   <- 8

 

Press shift+number to get 1/2 holes.

 

Press option+number (Macintosh only) to get shaded holes (/).

 

Press ~ (tilde) to get a W (window-shade symbol).
