Soprano Recorder
E5 on the Soprano Recorder
Written E5 — sounds concert E6. Tap the diagram to hear it.
The second register proper starts here: pinch the thumb hole so roughly a quarter of it is open, then use exactly the fingers of low E. The diagram shows that pinch as a half-covered thumb hole — the only difference between this note and low E. Too wide a pinch shrieks, too narrow gives low E instead.
