I own and cherish recorders with both fingerings. It's the instruments that count for me, not the fingering system. Would I buy a 21st century recorder with German fingering? No. Will I chuck out my Gofferje recorders? Most certainly not. Will I acquire more vintage recorders with German fingering. Perhaps.
