A combination, comprising:
- a two-piece recorder comprising a shaft separable into a first section and a second section at a separation point, a mouth piece disposed at a first end of the first section of the shaft, wherein a diameter of the shaft gradually increases from the separation point toward the first end of the first section of the shaft;
- a ring disposed around the first section of the shaft, said ring comprising an internal diameter having a size that matches the diameter of the shaft at a point along the first section of the shaft spaced between the separation point and the mouth piece;
- and
- a strap attached to the ring and configured to suspend the recorder and the ring from a neck of a user.
