- Current state: Rare tenor recorder made by Arnold Dolmetsch himself for a UK customer in 1924. The serial number is 267 and the instrument comes with an appraisal letter that confirms the manufacturing year. The instrument has single holes, plays 2 octaves, is in perfect playing condition and has not been tampered with. It comes with a modern hard case and the Dolmetsch correspondence note from 1971. (The Dolmetsch’s company correspondence suggests the model is based on a Stanesby recorder, belonging to Sir Francis Darwin, the son of Charles Darwin. Sir Francis Darwin, the third son of Charles Darwin and a fine amateur wind player, had played in Canon Galpin’s orchestra before World War I.)
