When I prepared this show a few years back I was fortunate to have a flute player who also played soprano recorder. The effect was wonderful! If you listen carefully to the movie you will hear the recorder, not a piccolo, and not a flute. The passage in question is in "If I Only Had A Brain".

(BIG snip) In the Broadway score of The Wizard of Oz there is a brief passage marked "Recorder" in one of the reed books. It apparently means soprano recorder, but it is notated at pitch with multiple ledger lines, and is normally (perhaps always!) played on piccolo rather than recorder. John -- John R.
