Recorder Accessories

The parts and supplies that keep a set of classroom recorders playable and hygienic through a school year.

Cleaning rods clear moisture from the bore after playing, which is what stops a recorder from clogging and going breathy. They are sized to the instrument, with one rod for soprano and alto and a longer one for tenor.

Thumb rests glue to the back of the instrument and take the weight off the thumb, which matters most for younger players and for the larger sizes. They are sold in packs and sized separately for soprano, alto and tenor.

Joint grease keeps three-piece recorders turning smoothly and stops joints from binding or wearing.

Sterisol germicide is stocked as a ready-to-use pump spray and as a concentrate. If your recorders are shared between classes rather than owned by each student, this is the part of the list that matters most.

Neck straps in a range of colours are also here.
