Dragoneyes: OK, I guess I don't need to tell you how to approach another instrument if you already play five. And I agre, musical instruments are expensive. But if you want to play concerning hobbits, get yourself a tin-whistle. The cheapest cost about 7 dollars (rough currency exchange calculation). That's most likely what its been recorded with, and should have the proper range. But be aware that they come in different keys.
When you say the recorder goes to high D, do you mean the D fingered with only second hole covered and all others open or an octave higher thatn that?
Mark12: Any idea where I might get a hold of a sample from that BBC production? And how much music is there actually in it?
