The exterior could be designed in any style desired. Even a one-of-a-kind piece of art with an organic look would be possible. Music is art and beautiful, but why can't your instrument be aesthetically pleasing when it's not producing sounds? Another example of 3D printing enabling designs to go beyond functional to decorative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOEJNR1yRBA Instructions This project requires a bit more complexity: Print treerecorder-brown.stl in brown plastic. Alternatively, print treerecorder-mouthpiece.stl, reerecorder-upperbody.stl, treerecorder-lowerbody.stl, and treerecorder-foot separately. Sharpen the edge of the lip on the mouthpiece to a fine point. Print treeRecorderLeavesCap-green.stl in green plastic. (Alternatively, print treerecorder-leavesleft.stl and treerecorder-leavesright.stl) Glue or hot glue the left and right leaves together. Place the leaves atop the mouthpiece. Print treerecorder-apples-red.stl in red plastic. (Alternatively, print 5 treerecorder-apple.stl) Hang the apples on the tree. To Play: Remove the leaves and set them aside. Twist the foot to adjust for comfortable pinky finger placement. The top of the body and the mouthpiece are connected with a longer connector to allow for some tuning. Note that if you start 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 the notes, use the key chart on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder#Recorder_fingering.
