Second hand recorders: the do’s and don’ts! | Team Recorder & Von Huene Shop

I teamed up with the Von Huene & Early Music Shop in Boston MA, to tell you everything you need to know about buying a second hand recorder! From the big do's and don'ts, to figuring out if that instrument on eBay is a rare antique or better used as firewood...

VON HUENE - THE EARLY MUSIC SHOP OF NEW ENGLAND, USA
https://www.vonhuene.com
Huge thanks to Patrick Von Huene and Eric Haas for chatting with me! The Von Huene shop sells their own handmade instruments, other makes of recorder, sheet music, and second hand recorders. They also can repair (pretty much) any recorder - and will give you an honest opinion about it! They ship internationally too!
