Why is this in key of 'f', I understood tenors were in 'c' ?

Hi This is an alto recorder, also known as a treble recorder. It is not a tenor recorder. Alto/treble recorders are in F, while tenors are in C, as you say. If you're looking for a tenor recorder, you might consider the Aulos at https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GQNRVKC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought this and was please with it because I have smallish hands and had struggled with other tenors.
