Would you play the recorder at 8am on a Sunday?

If you're not detached, it's warm and everyone has their windows open?

It's Ann annoying sound at the best of times, but really, it's 8am on Sunday!!!!!!

AIBU to feel fuming with my neighbours?

I'm sure their son is over 15, so this isn't a case of a toddler that's been up since dawn and this feels like the middle of the day to them.

I don't know how to set up the vote sorry so answers welcomed!

I’m a musician and never practice before 10 am or after 7 pm because I like my neighbours. I shut the window and doors of the room I practice in too.

Good to know this is not considered acceptable behaviour.

So is a recorder played well. The sound generation is the same, it’s just the method of producing the initial vibration which is different. “Flute à bec” as opposed to “transverse flute”

I have heard 'Gabriel's oboe' played (well) on the recorder. It was hauntingly exquisite.

Usual recorder reactions 😂. I went to see Michaela Petri years ago with my RCM recorder playing friend. Stunning.

Mind you, I am not sure that the OP's neighbour sounds anything like the pros. 😂

I would never play the recorder.
