The sopranino, alto and bass recorders are in the key of F. The soprano and tenor recorders are in the key of C. The F and C recorders employ 2 different sets of fingerings so both F and C recorders can read the same music written for C instruments (flute, oboe sheet music for example). This may sound confusing, but the fingering chart included with all Aulos recorders will make this clear. Aulos makes wonderful recorders (and I don't work for the company). As a matter of fact, I'll be playing their recorders in our upcoming Christmas masses with our church choir. Good luck and have fun playing.

RHYTHM BAND Aulos Aulos Classroom Recorder Alto 3 Piece English Woodgrain Finish A709Bw

Q: Aulos has several Alto models. Are the hole spacings the same for each? Which is best sounding?

I bought this recorder to replace an older wood recorder, I didn't want to spend a lot, and because my duet partner had an Aulos tenor. The Aulos alto is easier to play and in tune. Also, easier to tune with embouchure adjustments. I don't know anything about hole spacing between individual instruments. The plastic does retain more spit....have to suck and blow it out frequently...didn't have to do this with the wood recorder.

Q: Is this baroque fingering?

Yes, it is. The fingering chart come with the recorder.

Q: Is the woodgrain purely cosmetic or does it effect the sound? The regular brown is 20% cheaper.

The wood grain is cosmetic. It shouldn't matter if you get the regular brown or the wood grain. The sound should be the same.
