Recorder v3

*** Update *** Be sure to check out my upgraded design that features a low B-flat hole: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/recorder-extended-with-bb-hole Remixed from Recorder v2.3 by cymon: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12862 Based on cymon's recorder that plays well except for the very lowest notes. I made the bore larger to accommodate more airflow to get better volume at the bottom of the range. I also adjusted the placement of the holes. Recorders are notorious for having some notes off key and I wanted to remedy this. (True you can adjust airflow to tune each note but this way it's more consistent and less to remember.) Video demonstration here: https://youtu.be/QQ1ixOZWio0 For version 3.4 I've included separate soprano and alto STLs. If you scale the soprano up to alto size (150%) the size of the fipple will require a lot of air and it will literally take your breath away, however the remaining parts will work fine. I will likely at some point design a tenor (200%) version however that is a >2 day print. In theory the alto STL scaled up to 133% should produce a tenor recorder, however the fipple might have to be further narrowed and the finger holes may have to be made easier to reach. If printed in PLA, the tone will be warm, woody, airy, and flute-like, especially in the lowest notes, and most especially for the alto recorder. PETG gives it a clearer, somewhat brighter tone, but still very definitely a flute sound. I do not recommend ABS as you want maximum layer adhesion and ABS is $#!+ for layer adhesion.
