Ds (8) has just lost 2 teeth and has two more very wobbly. More are coming through. As a result he is producing much more saliva than normal and he's finding his recorder gets blocked holes during his pieces, even when he cleans the recorder beforehand.
What can he do? He has his g4 in two days. Will his starter recorder with the straight airway in the mouthpiece be better than his nicer recorder with curved airway? The really high notes come out better on his better recorder and he needs a top c. On the other hand if his thumb hole gets blocked with dribble he won't be playing high notes at all.
What should he do if his recorder gets saturated during a piece? Stop to blow the spit out or carry on but obviously not producing the right notes?
Help gratefully received.
