Full Details

Aulos C soprano 7 piece recorder, for players with finger disabilities - a person with any six usable digits (including thumb) can play an entire chromatic scale from C" to A"'. Dark brown recorder, with ivory trim. Similar to the 400217 model (available separately), but with seven pieces; a distinct advantage is that a student can use this recorder with adapted fingerings but the instrument will look just like the recorders other students are playing. With the head piece, there are six separate sections for holes, fitting smoothly into one another. By rotating the holes and plugging certain holes, the recorder can accommodate fingers that are missing or do not function normally. Various fingering options are given, from using 5 fingers from one hand and one from the other, to using 3 fingers from each hand. Once adjusted for an individual's hand, the sections may be glued into permanent position.   

This is a standard size recorder (13" long) and is only available in dark brown with ivory.

Includes a snap-top brown leatherette carrying bag; glue for securing the segments; cleaning rod; fingering chart; joint grease; and detachable thumb rest.   

***Please note: if the glue dries out before the recorder is glued in place, or if extra glue is needed, DO NOT use Superglue. The adhesive that comes with this recorder is most similar to model airplane glue.

I got a new student whose left hand never completely formed. He was born without a thumb, his left arm is significantly shorter than his right, and his fingers are curled and have very little stretch or strength. When I ordered this and showed it to the school's OT, she was giddy with excitement. She came and helped me get him set up on it, and he was SO excited. I asked him if he realized how cool it was, and his response was "Are you kidding, this is AMAZING!"

I was a bit overwhelmed when I opened it up because there are tons of instructions for different options on how to set it up depending on how many and which fingers the player has. I am very glad that I got my OT involved to help get everything lined up.
