minstrel: Beginner questions about XIVth century France

[Brian Songy]

Greetings to the Minstrel List:

I am a complete novice when it comes to playing any sort of musical instrument, period or modern.

Lacking any other starting point, I have set myself the goal of learning to play a single dance piece on a recorder.

Could anyone:
1)  recommend a brand/model of recorder
2) a piece of music to work upon
3) any suggestions on how I should go about teaching myself to play


Any advice would be welcomed,

Many thanks in advance

Matheus de Troyes
