I am about ready to buy a new tenor recorder, but I'm not sure of a couple of
things.

1)  In ascending order of price (ranging from $150-$560) I have the choice of
the following woods:  maple, cherry, boxwood, rosewood amd blackwood(ebony).
I have played maple recoreders before, and own a soprano maple (my other three
recorders are pearwood).  I am curious about the other woods and am wondering
what differences there are in their sound and care from what I'm already used
to playing.

2)  I am familiar with recorders by Moeck, Hohner and Adler, but one of the
recorders I asked about was made by a company called Zenon(?).  Is this
manufacturer any good?

Your replies are appreciated.  Please send mail to me.  Thanks.
