A modern "minstrel" plays an old instrument. Prof. William H. Stubbins of the U-M Music School is shown playing a recorder, or "fipple flute." The recorder is an 800-year-old musical instrument that is still widely played. Three sizes of the ancient instrument are shown here: a small "sopranino" protrudes from Stubbins' pocket and a large, bass recorder lies on the music rack. The University Extension Service is offering a night course in the recorder next semester.
