RECORDER PLAYING
Sir-aAll honour to Wainui-o-Mata. One of our local recorder players came back from a holiday with a glowing account of the interest in the arts to be found there. It is a pity that O.J.’s article about the development of amateur music had to include that paragraph about recorders. People who regard recorders as poor relations of more axpensive musical instruments are corrupted by the monetary standard of value, Actually the best things are seldom the most expensive. Recorders are very fine musical instruments indeed, and are capable of rendering some of the finest music in existence, To paraphrase the words of O.J.’s article, they can be played "anytime, anywhere, in a trio, a quartet," or in bands of any size whatever.
