No problem, Tim. Glad you spotted it. Too many afterthoughts on my part!
I agree with you about how it would be nice if Bernolin made a multi-colored resin alto, but it would be considerably more expensive, I think. Also, it would weaken it, I think. He would essentially be cutting it to add “rings” to it, it seems. I have read that adding rings to wooden recorders (like ivory rings at the joints) actually weakens it at that point. He DOES have a traverso that is multi-colored, by the way. I think the instrument happens to divide that way as the way it is made. Oh well, can’t have everything…
