	RECORDED SOUND, history of : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Records made of powdered slate mixed with shellac wore out quickly under heavy tracking pressures; most 'needles' were made of steel and had to be changed often; cactus or bamboo styli were kinder to discs but gave a weaker sound and had to be sharpened after every play.
		Recording characteristics were standardized in the '50s: low frequencies are attenuated in manufacturing gramophone records because the grooves cannot store them, and are restored in playback, called compensation or equalization; each record company did this differently until the RIAA (Record Industry Association of America) standard made things easier for designers of quality amplifiers.
		Recording technology was improved by research into lower signal-to-noise ratios for cassettes, a milestone being the Dolby process; first used on master tapes, then in cassette decks, this was a new kind of compensation, raising the volume of quiet high-frequency passages during recording, then lowering it during playback, reducing tape hiss.

	Recorder History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Many so-called "recorders" seen in paintings cannot be identified as such with 100% certainty, and even the most famous surviving example of an early recorder, which was found in a moat in Dordrecht, Holland in 1940, is sadly fragmented.
		The Dordrecht recorder has been dated to the early 15th century (the house where it was found was abandoned in 1418); however, in the absence of anything to compare it with, it is impossible to tell whether it was at all representative of other instruments made during this period.
		In the 17th century the recorder underwent a period of transition: the bore became more sharply conical (tapering out from bottom to top), and makers started striving for a larger range and a more refined, flexible sound which would be suitable for playing solos.
