[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is just gross. Recorders are not expensive and there is no reason for kids not to have their own (as mine did at 3 different schools).[/quote]

0548 here : Yes it maybe a little gross but it is not the $$ issue. All kids will eventually go through band and if they play a wind instrument, the same "gross" issue will happen too, right? I did think about saliva and teethmarks on the mouthpiece etc but if washed, that should be fine, no? You can't wash a trumpet or a clarinet too correct? And like I mentioned, its also a discipline issue and my kids music teacher did teach them not to bite the recorders, keep it clean by washing it after playing, not eating before playing etc. My nieces have their own recorders but they could go from eating a cookie, playing on their recorder (and all the bits probably goes into it!), put it aside and pick it up to play again a couple of hours later! They do not even wash the recorder! True! It is their own recorder but if not taught hygiene, it could really be worse! [/quote]
