3rd OCTAVE FINGERINGS (high notes)

● = closed   ○ = open    ø = partially closed

Copies of original baroque recorders are sometimes tuned to use these fingerings. Some of them have single holes instead of the double holes that usually equip modern instruments.

It can be necessary to look for alternative fingerings for some sharps and flats.

Between C¹ and G² Hotteterre suggests closing hole n° 6 to help support the instrument. This technique is not much in use nowadays and is not shown in this chart. Click here for Hotteterre's original fingerings.
