Too bad. I know you`ve been anxiously waiting for a long while, and then to have to wait even longer is difficult.
I`m impressed by your creativity. How does the recorder/reed combination work?
It reminds me of the Crumhorn I made several years ago. I wanted to play oboe, but heard that it was very difficult, particularly reeds and embouchure. So, I decided to make a Crumhorn.

I should have went for the oboe instead.
Hope time goes fast for you.
