Untitled[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

Bad link[edit]

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

Is Sufjan Stevens really a recorder player? It isn't mentioned on his biography page. 203.206.116.242 23:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Nicholas Dimoff link redirects to "Croissant". I don't know who Nicholas Dimoff is, but am very certain that's either a joke or a mistake — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.44.60.134 (talk) 15:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Oliver[edit]

It seems Mark Oliver has been removed from the list, what's the reason for this? Wasn't he a Grammy award winner? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.135.41.116 (talk) 11:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lest anyone take this seriously; no, he wasn't. --94.210.127.128 (talk) 12:12, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

not shure if this is the right place for this edit but street performer talan wilhelm out of Spokane Washington — Preceding unsigned comment added by Talan33 (talk • http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/sep/13/cat-mans-view/#/0 http://lmtribune.com/northwest/moscow-welcomes-recorder-troubadour/article_de318716-8c90-5383-b166-ba62d9a0ccef.html i really think this guy should at least be considered notable

It's not Wikipedia's job to make him notable.Hohenloh⁺ 21:20, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

it may not be but if your going to make a list make shure you add everyone who has made a name for themselves playing the recorder no matter how small or how big — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.240.78.147 (talk) 17:04, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What about including Lucie Horsch's name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hitsuji Santos (talk • contribs) 02:36, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
