In theory, the windway of the recorder is the crucial component, and the exterior could take any form you desire - even a replica of the Empire State Building, courtesy of Hoeken at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:625. The fact that making music wasn't beautiful enough now, this recorder can sit on your shelf as an objet d'art. 3D printing allows designs to transcend functionality and become decorative. Instructions: Print empirerecorderV2.stl with high infill. Alternatively, you can print the parts separately. Sharpen the edge of the lip to a fine point. Assemble. To play: Remove the spire before attempting to play. Rotate the mouthpiece 180 degrees. Twist the foot to adjust for pinky finger placement. The top of the body and the mouthpiece are connected by a longer connector, allowing for some tuning. Note that if you begin with all holes covered and remove them one-by-one, the high notes will sound flat. This is normal. To achieve proper tones for all notes, use the key chart on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder#Recorder_fingering. Practice until you can play "New York, New York".
