I have an Aulos Tenor which I like to play around with now and again. I'm probably being thick, but how do you play low C sharp on it? I can only get C natural by pressing the key at the bottom. Is it possible to play C sharp at all?

Argh if this is what I think it is, I HATE these recorders with a passion, my bass is similar, I can't get a low F# out of them.

If there's only one key on your tenor, you will NOT be able to get a C#, only a C.

You have my sympathy - I keep reading that it isn't so important to have a low C# on a tenor, but the piece I'm currently learning has several. Lucky my instrument has no keys, and double holes instead. Doubly lucky that I've got big hands...

I love my Roessler tenor

Simple question, simple answer. No. To play low C sharp you need either double keys or no keys.

Thanks!

I bought an Angel tenor last week. That has both C keys. Quite a nice recorder, actually.

I believe you mean a double C/C# key

Yes, that's it
