E♭4 on the Soprano Recorder
Written E♭4 — sounds concert E♭5. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Half-cover double hole 6 with the right ring finger — one of the pair open, one closed. The pitch is very sensitive to how much of the hole you expose, so correct it with the finger rather than the air. Recorders with a single hole 6 need a genuine rolled half-hole here.
