tedah riagrimi yes if you don’t practice you won’t get better than her, but if you practice you have high chances.

In Brazil we call flute as transversal flute, and recorder as sweet flute. Here, flute is a very popular instrument in Samba and Chorinho.

I grew up with a parent who taught flute to students in our house and I have to say... I'm not sure about flutes always sounding so good!

Your flute is leaking air like a punctured tire, so don't be so hard on yourself. Loved this! Had me turn around and pick up my flute too for some brief playing (I'm a recorder and saxophone player) and I now feel the bicep burn in my left arm, ow. XD

Wow, so great to read this comment. I have been considering exactly what you wrote (not that I am anywhere closed to this lady's ability with the recorder but I like to make noise with them and wouldn't mind making noise also with a baroque flute). However, I never started because of the incredible price (relatively speaking) of baroque flutes. I also noticed recently the Bernolin flute in his page and wondered whether there is anyone who has tried it. Any chance you (or someone else here) can give it a review. Maybe Bernolin himself can support a "I try the baroque flute" in this channel borrowing one of his instruments?

I don't own a Bernolin flute, but have played on one of his G.A. Rottenburgh flutes a couple of times. It is a robust flute with a bright sound, which compares well with a wooden instrument. I started learning with the Aulos Grenser plastic flute before moving on to a wood instrument, but I wish I had access to on of Bernolin's flutes back then. which I think are superior. The Bernolin flute would be a very good starter baroque flute. It speaks well in all registers, the tuning is good, the sound is bright and clear.

Mike: I used to play flute but lost my embouchure when I broke my bottom front teeth and had to have a plate. I recently reached a point where I needed to find something to assist my breathing. I got out the flute and found it leaked like a sieve and was too old to be repaired. Fortunately I stumpled across a recorder group and took up playing again after 70 years away from my old plastic school descant. I stayed with a "C" instrument and treated myself to a Kung Tenor recorder after watching one of your programmes. Keep up the good work - I love your cheerful approach to make playing lots of fun

You shouldn’t give up on flute. You’re skilled enough to be a pro at both recorder and flute

I love my flute, and I’m just getting back into recorder, and penny whistles, and fifes, and a Kalimba, and so much more. I love my instruments. There’s several others I want to learn. It’s like therapy.

Sounds like your flute needs to be overhauled, and possibly new pads on it. I play both flute and recorder.

@hauntedshadowslegacy2826

4 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same. The pads sound... worn? sticky? Generally not good... It needs some TLC before it sounds right. Flutes have a lot more moving parts than recorders, and any of those parts can go bad.

I started out with the flute, but when I discovered the recorder, there was no going back. I am certainly not a professional player but enjoy playing for my own enjoyment, and can play well enough to be happy playing the music I like.

I play both instruments (poorly). I'll be honest, I love the flute and regarded the recorder as an easier instrument, something to get me back into playing music without putting in the endless practice hours the flute requires. I was wrong, of course, but in the process I discovered what a wonderful instrument the recorder is and also a world of music that I hadn't taken the time to explore. Team Recorder had a big part in this, so, thanks Sarah! Oh, about the keys. I think we are going to have to get used to them as the recorder catches up with other woodwinds that never stopped evolving.

I was thinking the flute looks so hard and cold compared to a recorder...personal bias! 😁

I've been playing flute 2 years with MANY problems: embouchure, neck, hand and thumbs pain, teardrop lips and a terribly strict teacher. Now that I know you and your great channel, I'm thinking seriously to take a recorder instead...

Based on your demonstrations, I purchased a soprano Mollenhauer in rosewood and I AM HOOKED! I LOVE PLAYING THE RECORDER!

I thoroughly agree about finding out what it is like to be learning again - I took up classical guitar three years ago and it's truly frustrating when I know what I'd like it to sound like! But helpful with encouraging me to approach my own pupils with more empathy. You forgot the links on this video! Up here is nothing and down there is nothing either!

I am a flute player and not a recorder player- and I loved this 😻

Flute has been my first instrument, before switching to piano and then settling for composition (albeit piano and keyboard instruments in general are very useful for composition), so I can perfectly relate to the difficulties of such instrument. Back then, I was 5 years old and I stopped just simply because I didn't had the patience to form the embochoure, then I found piano to be much easier, but problem is it's an instrument where difficulties come out later than on other and I was eventually convinced to re-start from the very bases (hand posture, scales, arpeggios) because I had to became decently proficient for composition. One year ago, I picked up a cornett alongside the recorders and, aware of all the problems I've had studying flute before and piano then, I patiently have practiced embochoure exercises and long tones for many months and now I'm starting seeing the light. So, yes, I absolutely love when instrumentists put themselves in discussion and try some new instruments, or to return to their previous instruments. As for me, I would like to try flute again just to "reconcile" myself with the instrument...

The sound of a flute is nice. "Nice" is a word often used for something what is smiled at. In many cases the perfect terme for the modern metal Boehm-Flute. A flute definitely is an instrument with a beautiful sound if you choose a wooden instrument. Bach Partita on wooden travers flute is so beautiful.

I studied the flute to become a teacher, then stopped when I realized teaching wasn't for me (well, I was 17 then, that's half my age now). Recently I kinda regretted that I stopped playing all together (after more than 15 years I think I'd have to start all over again) then I came across your channel and now I'm thinking, why not give the recorder another chance! (Although it's a little tempting to buy them in all different sizes and end up with a huge collection which I probably won't be able to afford ^^) Anyways, thanks for all your videos and by the way, your flute skills are still very impressive! Keep up the good work :)

I think you'd feel more at home with a baroque traverso. I play recorders, traverso, cornetto and baroque oboe (just as a regular wind player did back then) and even though they seem to be different, they are very similar.

Amazing💚

I bought a resin recorder yesterday. I love M. Bernolin's flutes. I played for several years too. However I have M S and I'm not sure if my facial muscles can sustain an embouchure any more. M S does very weird things. Invisible things. I was a singer but after a disastrous rehearsal where I suffered severe cognitive fatigue, I quit. So I took up the trumpet. FAIL. My facial muscles could not manage to shape 3 notes. So, back to my first love like yours, Sarah, the recorder. One day I'll buy a resin flute, but it's too much money right now, especially after buying the alto. I'm going to learn those vivaldi concerti finally, at last. My old resin aulos is more than 40 years old. It is suffering a little. Thanks so much for all the great videos.

Ha, happy to see JustAnotherFlutist mentioned. My first flute was never polished and turned black, and the pads wore down, not worth replacing. My friend gave me his flute which I stepped on after tripping over a speaker tripod, and my flute after that fell off a cabinet and also broke before a wedding I was due to play at. To this day I cannot play a B-foot flute, and do not need an expensive one to make a good sound. I regret buying an expensive one to find that out.

Awesome! Very Ian Anderson in some ways. Love it!

👏👍 Hi Sarah - It’s amazing how you maintained your embouchure, and more surprisingly you remembered the fingering chart in all three octaves for the concert flute after all these many years. BTW: I, too, prefer to play jazz tunes on my concert flute. But then I say that about my Bb clarinet, alto saxophone, Bb trumpet and flugelhorn. 😉 🎼 ♫

I could listen to this lady speak and play all day, beautiful and intelligent. Amazing musician. Makes recorder interesting and relevant to a wider audience. Single handedly responsible for a 99% increase in teenage boys playing recorder. Yes miss 😍 can I have detention again miss 😍 and extra recorder practice.

I'm primarily a cellist, but I always come back to the flute, recorder and I bring out an ocarina to play casually with friends every once in a while. My fundamentals are OK but there's always new bits of tension to deal with whenever I come back to the flutes, and I definitely have a problem with chromatic fingerings between them. XD

I used to play the flute and got to a point it was hurting my neck. So now I play the Recorder and enjoy playing it.

I just bought a flute. I had one about fifty years ago. Currently I have an Irish flute and a bunch of whistles and a five string carbon fiber fiddle. The fiddle is my main instrument. Muscle memory hasn’t survived the fifty years so it’s been a learning experience from the word go getting the note I want out of the flute. I have seven ir eight tunes I practice every day. Mostly Irish but Daphne from van Eyck is included. I love the sound I can get from it if I concentrate. I have three Moerk (Sp?) Rottenberg recorders and some Zenón plastic ones. I brought a rennaisance (sp? again) soprano to a session and blew away all the whistles. It was a few times louder than them. My carbon fiber five string is the best instrument I’ve ever owned but I love all of my super toys. Yes, my neck hurts when I play the flute.

You sound fantastic! I hadn’t played the flute in many years and decided to pick it up again. I definitely do not sound as great as you do lol.
