    People with small handsshort fingers need a smaller instrument

    Ive never played an alto recorder before and i only learned a couple notes on a soprano recorder

    Couldnt read what the little purple pot was for but since the main piece was a little difficult to put together im assuming its grease to help with that

    Unfortunately it does not fit my small hands and i was considering giving it to a friend
