I just was given one…for christmas… wooden Carlton tenor recorder …then went to look it up and found no info except this comment here…it was purchased at Long and McQuade, a large reputable Canadian music store…77 in fact…so while there this morning i asked.. they tell me it is in fact a Meinel but sold through them as Carlton.. its basically the same as the higher priced one but that company is somehow selling them through the Carlton brand…anyways…its a Meinel…good quality tho i dont know why in the world they couldnt provide a c#key…thats a big regret…needless to say i told the guy a l&m that recorder players want good instruments and want to know its not a knock off…which this current marketing strategy would appear to support… dont think they liked hearing that…but will pass the feedback along…enjoy it…good price..but i do regret having no c# key…why? Who does that? Silly ppl…
