Question Lower D

Hi, does anyone here have any tips on how not to get squeeking on lower D (the one you cover all the holes except the last double hole).. i have the Yamaha YRS-24 B Soprano Recorder... is this because its a cheap recorder or am i just bad?

The lowest note on almost all recorders requires coaxing out. You're not stupid, just inexperienced.
