I have a MOECK and it was off....we had to turn it on a lathe and make it 3/16 inch shorter....

A brilliant video - thank you. I'm new in so I'm working my way through your back catalogue. I have an Eastar Maple as you reviewed here, I agree it's surprisingly good. I'd tried a couple of other wooden cheapies but the Eastar clearly stood out as better. That said, I did find it slightly low in pitch. I would come up to pitch if played really hard but I consistently had the weird feeling when picking up the Eastar after playing my Tenor - it just sounded a bit flat. So I bunged it in the lathe and removed 2mm from the head and now it's tuned perfectly and agrees with my Tenor, my piano and my Yamaha recorder.

Oh, we just love to see you guys together! And such beautiful music you made.

Oohhhhh, so I have about 10 recorders, i tried playing a piece with choir and could not get the pitch. Brought a couple more from home including my lovely wood and even the treble and sopranino. No good. Played them all using the pitch app and yes, about a semitone “out”. Narrowed it down to 416hz on the app. Figured the pitch was different in recorders for some weird reason. Now you have explained it, just my bad luck that every recorder I own is in baroque. I guess now i have to buy myself a modern 440hz recorder or three.

Magnificently motivational ❤

Oh, this echo!

Sarah, maybe you’ll know this! Why don’t some older alto or basset recorders have a low f sharp key? I have two otherwise beautiful sounding old instruments from Mollenhauer (alto) and Kung (bass) and both have only a single low F key. No F sharp. Why did they leave out this key on some recorders? Thanks! david

Nice! Nothing to add as far as duets are concerned but I would like to recommend Phil Woods Sonata For Alto Sax And Piano on recorder. I've been playing through the 1st movement as written for alto sax and it sits almost perfectly on recorder and sounds beautiful. The piano would need transposing/arranging to suit. There are versions by John Harle ( a good template for recorder i feel ) and Victor Morosco (who Woods wrote the piece for) on UA-cam. The last piece in your book put me in mind of this.

Hi sarah! We're coming to Amsterdam on 11th September for a few days. Are there any recorder-y events that week where we might hear you play? Thanks for another fun and informative video xx❤

Just learning how to play a Basset F but the left 0 thumb is used HOW? It is difficult to change it, slur it, move it fast, I use the side next to the nail. Should it be more vertical? How do I use the left thumb? thanks.

This was lovely!

Bass,subbass or Tenor recorder❤

Now I can only imagine Jon on King's day on a flea market with a little money bucket... I really want to know how he ended up playing recorder for the king, when and where was this? Lol

You guys are so adorable

Hello Sarah, I just want to say that I am so impressed with the way you jump into different situations with such confidence and openness to learn. Your videos are inspiring and I always learn from them.

🤣 affect du wobble ❤

Bei uns wir sagten dazu "Garkeinflötlein!"

I've written a piece for two flutes and harpsichord continuo. It's on sound cloud so I have a link. Interested?

Love watching you two roasting each other! By the way; where did Jon find that hat? It's awesome!

apex predator - YES 🙂

This was so much fun watching. You two are lovely!

On the left, what is the name of the bass voice?

You sweet woman. My question. What is the best recorder for bass?

rreally really really niiiiiiiiiiice ! :-)

You are just crazy recorder people !!! And you're wonderfull :D

🐟🐠 There is something fishy around here

I play the recorder and the ukulele , you can imagine what sort of preconceptions I have to face , but I don't care ,actually the recorder is the instrument that I learned first ( 1977 ) and that got me in the world of music .

I am Italian and in schools they use the German system , I started learning the recorder ( I was 14 ) on that system out teacher was British , after many years I picked up the recorder again and learnt the Baroque system , by the way I play jazz ( not on this channel though )

I'm confused by the "different fingering" comments. Don't they have the same fingering for the basic sizes?

I kinda feel like Jon’s interpretation of Gesti could be considered just as valid as Sarah’s. And Bodil is even better. Yeah?

6:42 a cornetto?! A what?!

What do you think of the Hans-Martin Linde's Neuzeitliche Übungsstücke? I really like No. 12.

What is Quantz? The inventor of Quantzumtheory, of course!

Great fun, I have learnt a lot playing duets with my partner, she understands written music better than me : )

12:20 Very nice piece! That‘s the lively recorder music, I like. :)

You know things get real when the slippers are kicked off. Apparently that is the equivalent of gloves in the musician world.

ABBA. Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Sarah and Jon. 🙌🏻😍🙌🏻

It's been eight and a half years?! 😳 I seems just like eight and a half months. 😊 Time flies when you're having fun. 😉🎵

Love it!

Love watching you two together! What a delight. 🎉

Pleeeeaaase tell us the story about Jon playing recorder for the king of the Netherlands 😂

Great playing. I wish, I had someone to play duets with, too.

lol thank you for the 90's Joan Osborn flashback of What if Qantz was one of us !

Ok... we are going to need a duet album with you and Jon.

It's always fun to see your videos together. 😆

❤ You two are soooo cute together! My almost equally cute spouse taught me to play recorder nearly 47 years ago, shortly after we married. We’ve been playing beautiful (and not so beautiful) music together ever since. (Alas, no matching fish 🐠 shirts.) I started as a piano player; he plays piano and a bunch of woodwinds plus recorder. We began with the easier pieces (including especially great arrangements by Eric Katz) and graduated to the Quantz piece you and Jon played today - that one’s a BEAR! Thanks to his computer technical and music theory skills, he’s transcribed countless pieces for us! The ultra-clever spousal unit has expanded our repertoire to be-bop, other jazz, and sundry other music written by composers who never dreamed of having their pieces played on recorder. So cool to have these! P.S. One of my favorite method books is The Charlton Method of the Recorder Paperback - July 10, 2015 by Andrew Charlton (Amazon: www.amazon.com/Charlton-Method-Recorder-Andrew/dp/1908904798). A serious student can play Charlton forever and never outgrow it - always some new technical skills to squeeze out. Plus the book includes some really fun duets.

Does it Jaunt?

Why not use the tenor? I am just fed up with the alto, alto, alto...

What about the bass recorder? I noticed your recorders didn't have those extensions valve for the hole you can't reach with your pinky? Very informative video. I believe the recorder is the most under appreciated instrument. However, being that it's not confusing enough having to read while playing in a different key, I think the Alto and Tenor recorder should be played using the Alto and Tenor clef respectively.😅 why not? The viola uss the Alto clef and the cello and some other instruments occasionally use the Tenor clef?😊

Who cares about the sheets or the recorders? Where did you find those Sweaters?!? 😁
