My advice is that you should give it time (assuming that when you say ‘recently’ you mean within the last couple of weeks). Wooden recorders need to be played in—they need to adjust to being played in ways that plastic recorders do not. Every wooden recorder I’ve owned has sounded better and responded better after several weeks of gentle playing.
