hi i was looking at an internet site for note fingerings on the recorder and on a bunch of notes they had different fingering for english and german models.
which one is my recorder if the company is Aulos?

It is very likely English fingering. Did a fingering chart not come with your recorder?

If you know how a scale should sound (if you have played any music before or have a piano) you can easily decide if one fingering or another is right or wrong by playing it and seeing if it sounds like the right note.

Count the holes from the bottom. If no. 4 is smaller than no 3, its english. If no 3 is decidedly smaller than no. 4, its german. German fingering is much easier to learn for beginners - in fact, it is nothing but a paedagogic invention from the 20ies - but it has some limitations later.
