Suzuki plastic recorder (4 euros) is very accurate in 415 Hz tuning..
In baroque fingering for producing F note holes 0 1 2 3 4-6 7 are covered
In German fingering for producing F note holes 0 1 2 3 4 – – – 7 are covered thus having easier fingering (as happens on flutes..). For this reason German fingering was and still is, in many European countries (mainly in: Greece , Germany , Austria , Switzerland) popular though German fingering has been criticized that is not accurate tuning on some sharps / flats . (The only not accurate note, for me, is flat E (Eb).
Comparison of 3 different models of German Fingering Recorders:
