Kristen, the weakness of C# and D# is due to undersized air column outlet. Low C and D are ok in renaissance and early baroque recorders.
However in late baroque recorders low tones are compromised in order to improve high register responsiveness. In that case there is no much room to improve low register, since bore end is too narrow.
