Panlong Recorder

Update: Due to popular demand, the multicolor version is no longer available

This is my first model, commissioned by a young lady. It's a standard recorder embellished with numerous ornaments, surpassing a typical recorder in grandeur—“In a novel, it would at least be a high-grade magical artifact!” was her request. I believe I've largely achieved this, though it underwent several revisions

Please don't ask why I didn't make it a transverse flute; the young lady does not play that instrument

While the appearance is rather ornate, this is indeed a standard Baroque recorder (eight-holed recorder). The internal air column volume has been meticulously calculated, and it is playable. However, as I am not a professional musician, I cannot guarantee its pitch accuracy

The model comprises three sections that connect with simple insertion. The joints have been reinforced as much as possible, but due to FDM limitations, excessive force should be avoided

Dimensional accuracy may vary due to printer and filament differences. Please adjust compensation values or perform post-printing refinement/reinforcement with adhesive as needed

The connection at the lower end is relatively loose; this is intentional, allowing rotation to accommodate the position of the little finger

PLA filament is recommended. PETG and other materials are not recommended. Furthermore, as the mouthpiece will come into contact with the mouth, please be mindful of the biocompatibility of your chosen material🤐

A dual-color version was also available but is strongly discouraged due to substantial waste generation and inferior print quality compared to the single-color option
