Hi,
I was wondering if there is anybody in the Tacoma to Bremerton area that makes recorders.

Nope, I'm sure not, but I'm glad you mentioned it. I should look into that myself. Another lathe project, and a potentially very cool one at that.
I wonder how they get the inside taper right? Interesting...
If you make one, let us know how you fare.
About 5 years ago, I made a dozen or more Native American flutes. I'm not sure how a recorder is constructed, but I made my flutes by splitting the blank, routing the chambers then glueing the pieces back together. The cutting edge was the hardest part and it was done by hand with a small rasp.

Check out Mick O'donell's techniques using a gun boring rod adapted for woodturning. I believe he used it for flutes or bagpipes
