Soprano Recorder
F5 on the Soprano Recorder
Written F5 — sounds concert F6. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Pinched thumb with the forked shape of low F, except that hole 7 now stays open. German-system instruments use a different pattern here too, so this is a second place to check which recorder you have. When F5 cracks, the pinch is usually too small rather than the air too strong.
