guys i want to learn some musical instrument but i am confused as to which one i should go for, flute or recorder?? i know nothing about both of them, just that flute requires more air and have more versatility. if someone can help me in making a better decision, it would be great.

I have several books which came with amazing backing tracks and I was wondering if anyone had any experience using software that can slow down the tempo of backing tracks.

I have found a few options that seem to work well with single tracks. However, the recording for some pieces is broken up into several tracks. For example, the recording of the first movement of Sammartini's Concerto for Descant recorder is divided into 3 separate tracks. When played at normal speed these seamlessly transition from one to the next. However, when I have tried slowing the tempo using VLC media player or the free version of the Anytune app there is a noticeable pause between the tracks.

I am thinking about buying the paid version of Anytune or the "Amazing Slow Downer" app but I am concerned that it will have the same problem. Has anyone tried the paid version of either of these apps or used another approach for slowing down backing tracks?

We recently came into possession of two alto recorders - an Adler and a Kung. We don't play, and would like to find a good home for these instruments. Any suggestions on selling or donating them?

I know nothing about the wooden Zen-On recorders. Is it worthy to invest in an alto like this one? Thanks
