I’m so glad I could help! I love playing Christmas carols too – it is one of my favorite things about Christmas!

Do just let us know if you have any other questions or run into any problems with your recorder. You might already know this, but one thing I didn’t know when I first started playing recorder was how helpful it is to warm up your recorder before you begin playing. Now I always hold the head-joint under my arm for 5-10 minutes before I begin to play. This warms it up to body temperature and prevents condensation clogging up the recorder and making it sound muffled or hoarse.
