The finger spacing on such a tenor NSP would be like a treble, rather than a sopranino recorder - should lie quite reasonably under the fingers, and without too much stretch.
Presumably other dimensions - bore etc - would need scaling in proportion. The reed could well be a difficulty, but not for a keyless set, as many 'normal pitch' (F) keyed sets go down to low B, A or occasionally even G. Should have quite a meaty sound...

That's only two tones nominal, about two and a half actual, below a GBP PC. He should be able to run off a keyless chanter pretty quickly, take it along to his local club, and see if people are happy with somebody playing a bass line :-) Ross To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
