Glissando on a recorder

[Aulos303]

Something Ive discovered about my Yamaha Alto is that it is quite easy to perform glissandi on it. This is a simple C to D slide-I did initially do a full scale glissando but it didnt sound great, due to the fact that I’m a mere beginner!

Cool, are you getting ready to "Rhapsody in Blue"?

Michala Petri has some amazing glissando skills, on a sopranino no less. I'd imagine the smaller tone holes add to the difficulty. At 2:07 in this video.

Good grief, on a sopranino! I can barely manage it on my soprano!

Ha I wish! Fantastic piece that, and everytime I hear it I want a clarinet more!
