How do you finger a bass recorder?

To finger a bass recorder, you need to hold the instrument in both hands, with your right hand on top and your left hand on the bottom. Your fingers should be placed on the holes of the recorder, with the thumb of your right hand covering the hole on the back of the instrument. The other fingers of your right hand should cover the holes on the front of the instrument, and the fingers of your left hand should cover the holes on the bottom.

To play a note, you need to blow air into the mouthpiece of the recorder. The air will travel through the holes of the recorder and produce sound. The pitch of the sound will depend on which holes are covered.
