[Ansteorra] buying recorders (was: iso dance)

[Jennifer Smith]

I would add that if you're going to buy a recorder (and I heartily second
the recommendations for the Yamaha 300 series), buy an alto. It's around
$35 or so, but for that extra price over a soprano, you will be more able
to blend into a group. Usually in any group of musicians, you only need
one, maybe two, soprano instruments (particularly recorders).
