Music lessons and the recorder, sentence 11
Water dripping from a recorder is condensation: warm, wet breath cools inside the pipe and turns back into drops, just like a cold window steaming up; to clear the drops, cover the window (the small gap under the mouthpiece) and blow sharply.
Who acts: Water, warm wet breath, cold window · What happens: drip, be, cool, turn back, steam up, clear · To what, where: recorder, condensation, pipe, drops, window
