Sopranino Recorder
The sopranino recorder is the second smallest recorder of the modern recorder family, and was the smallest before the 17th century. This modern instrument has F5 as its lowest note, and its length is 20 cm. It is almost always made from soft European or tropical hardwoods, though sometimes it is also made of plastic. Historically there were several sizes of recorder in this register, named differently in different periods and in different languages. In his ''Syntagma Musicum'' (1619), Michael Praetorius describes this size of recorder, only a whole tone higher, with G5 as its lowest pitch. He calls it ''exilent'' (highest) in Latin, and ''kleine Flöte'' (small flute), ''klein Flötlein'' (small little flute), or ''gar klein'' (really small) in German. According to Praetorius, it is the smallest of eight sizes of recorder in a complete "''Accort'' oder Stimmwerk" (set of all voices), and sounds a ''quintadecima'' (a fifteenth—that is, two octaves) higher than a cornett.
