Talk:List of recorder players
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a very odd list. It looks like a list of people who are famous for other things but can, incidentally, play the recorder too (eg Benjamin Britten, Jimi Hendrix, James Dean...). Interspersed in the list are a few people who are virtuoso recorder players (Carl Dolmetsh, Pamela Thorby...). I suggest this list should be limited to people who are famous for playing the recorder, or whose use of the instrument has had some influence. By analogy, an encyclopaedia article on "golf players" wouldn't list every famous person who played a bit of golf! Bluewave 16:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've tried to make the list less odd by separating out those who are famous for being recorder players from the rest. I was inclined to delete the 'recreational players' but decided to leave them for now. Bluewave 12:25, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- I was just wondering what the sources for this list happen to be. While it seems interesting that Hendrix played the recorder in some studio sessions I would like to seem some kind of evidence of this such as biographical or eyewitness evidence otherwise all sorts of musicians might end up on this list.

The Sarah Martin link redirects to another (non-recorder playing) Sarah Martin.
