ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with surveys of the recorder in particular countries and historical periods as well as sources covering specific aspects of the recorder in the past that do not fit readily into the other chapters. 90. Bridge, J.C. “The Chester ‘Recorders.’” Proceedings of the Musical Association 27
(1900-1901): 109-20. On 12 February 1901, Bridge brought the Chester recorders to a meeting of the Royal
Music Association and read this paper, which is not so much a history of the Chester instruments as a summary of the little that was known at that time about the history of the recorder. The instruments were then played-apparently somewhat incompetently, judging from the chairman’s comments. Discussion followed.
