What is the difference between a blockflute and a recorder?


RECORDER









BLOCKFLUTE

RECORDER
The recorder is a woodwind musical instrument of the family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes — whistle-like instruments which include the tin whistle and ocarina. The recorder is end-blown and the mouth of the instrument is constricted by a wooden plug, known as a block or fipple.[1] It is distinguished from other members of the family by having holes for seven fingers (the lower one or two often doubled to facilitate the production of semitones) and one for the thumb of the uppermost hand. The bore of the recorder is tapered slightly, being widest at the mouthpiece end of it (Baroque recorders) and narrowest at the top, flared almost like a trumpet at the bottom (Renaissance instruments).

BLOCKFLUTE
A blockflute is actually very similar to the recorder as one can see from the above pictures. The difference is in the distance of the holes and the way it is played.



Playing difference between the recorder and the blockflute?
A recorder, for one thing is played like a clarinet,but a blockflute is not played like a clarinet.
