[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry but that is disgusting. Kids blow, slobber and spit into recorders. If they are cleaned after each use and by that I mean inside and out -fine. If they only exchange mouthpieces absolutely not.[/quote]

OP here. Agree. Just dipping and washing the mouthpiece is no go for me. And surely these things never dry out properly either! My twins complained their recorders stank and when they smuggled it home, I agree it was absolutely disgusting. It smelt so bad! Washing aside, using a recorder with someone else's teethmarks is the other really yucky thing and it is shocking that the teacher still thought it was acceptable! I know all kids chew these things but there were even toothmarks on the other end in one of them!

Anyway for those with this ridiculous school policy to only use the school's, we came up with an idea to look around town and buy our daughters the exact same recorder. (The school's were Aulos though we wished it was yamaha as it was easier to clean and cheaper!) and They played only on their own and kept the school issued on the side.

I must admit my twins were not better than anyone else and they too ended up by the end of the term with smelly recorders and tooth marks on them but at least it was their own and not from 20 other kids.  (we are not aloof and saying that we are better than everyone else and too "classy" to use a school issued one)

Can't wait for the next year term to end and we can throw out these recorders or donate ours to the sad pile for the next poor kid in line!
