I met Alec Loretto in Brugge/Bruges in 1972 at the Festival of Flanders. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, he was just beginning to experiment with making recorders and brought with him some of the very first Fred Morgan recorders to be seen in Europe. I believe Anneke Boeke bought the first Morgan Debey alto from Alec. Later, Alec went on to make his own recorders and also to write many articles on recorders and recorder making. He is now retired from active instrument making, but continues to write articles. Here is a link to a bibliography of his work.
