If your child's recorder becomes lost or broken, there are several places where they can be purchased, however I ask that if replacing one, please do not purchase one from a dollar store. The recorders sold at dollar stores are toys, not instruments, and do not have the quality or correct tone that is achieved when playing a real recorder. Also, it is very important the type of recorder that is purchased due to a difference in fingerings needed to play them. At McMasters we use a soprano Baroque style recorder.

The best local place to purchase a new recorder would be from Guitar Center. There is a store located on Fairmont Pkwy next to JCPenny. If you would like to order one online, they can be found for a very reasonable price on guitarcenter.com, westmusic.com or on amazon.com.​ Click on the pictures below to access their websites.
