You may want to contact David Migoya of Fyfer Restorations. He’s often found on the flute forum.

You may want to look at this web site. They make recorders specifically for folks that are only able to use one hand.

You will need to e-mail them to work out details.

Here is a site for the well known Dolmetsch recorder on 1 handed keyed Recorders.

Here is Mr Harrell’s page on how to make and attach keys to a recorder for single-handed playing. These can be given to a local “Pro” to modify a standard Recorder or Whistle. People with 2 hands may wish to get one of these so they can drum or play another instrument with their free hand.

Thomas, that is the WEIRDEST instrument I’ve seen in a LONG time!.

It(the Paetzold square bass) might be Weird but it sure plays a nice bass background at a session Tyghress! The wooden plate keys are very quiet too.
