Thanks to Juho Myllylä, Hester Groenleer, and the team at Paetzold by Kunath for appearing in this video too!

This is what Davie does. By pretending to roast other music/musicians, he in fact highlights them and makes them more visible to the YT audience. Approved.
Yes, we know.
I hope Davie will follow-up and talk about the lower note bass instruments that Sarah showed in this video.
Checkmate everyone
Epic
Really? That's amazing!
I would suggest challenging Davie to a bass battle, he can't say no.
Do it now
Yeah perfect idea
I wanted to like but its at 69 likes LMAO
So it is and so it shall always be.
@@abhyudaychatterjee1495 It will get to 420 soon
As a fellow SLAPPER, I would say this is VERY IMPRESSIVE, if not borderline EPIC
Came here for Davie, stayed because of great personality and epic skills on an unusual class of instruments.
WE LOVE RECORDERS
The great bass looks like a mix between a microscope, a telescope and an assault rifle.
You mean a Hunting Horn (Monster Hunter)
Exactly what I was thinking. 😂
Who ever made that. Look like it hunt a lot of Gravious and Uragaan.
think about try to travel in a airplane with that... )))) hahaha
70r3v3r Design Yeah imagine having to fly over to a different country with that for a performance LOL
They are slapped with the tongue, that's a verified slapp in my book
Let's see Davie504 slap with his tongue. Steve Vai used to do harmonics with his on guitar, so why not? ;p
@@KarstenJohansson ask his girlfriend?
Checkmate!
CHECK MATE Davie504
That's how I slap my wife.
This was fun. I played clarinet up through the end of high school. I was OK but never amazing and left my clarinet home when I went to university, but I picked up a recorder to have fun with in my dorm room and loved it. I got better at it than I ever was at the clarinet, because I only ever wanted to play Celtic folk music anyway. I am old now and also have enjoyed 6 hole wooden flutes, penny whistles, and harmonics. I am not a professional, or even a talented amateur, but playing brings me a joy that I don't get anywhere else.
Amazing share.
Holy shit, that "slapping" adds a very rythmical feel to the recorder that I'd never seen! Even though I wouldn't call it a slap per se, I'd consider slapping because of that percussiony bassy feel, that shit's great. And you guys are fucking beasts, that mouth slapping, goddamn
Uh, Jose, would you mind cleaning up your language a bit?

Any clearer?
It looks like shes playing a table leg.
I was thinking it might be made from a decommissioned submarine periscope!
at first i thought you were talking about the first one (the basset) and i was like : "ha yeah totally"
oh man was i in for a treat...
She’s playing the IKEA bASS recorder
🤣
My god that broke me.
3:48 "the basset and the bass dont look that different"
*holds up a beautiful carved length of wood next to an assault rifle*

Im sorry to ruin the joke but she said that in terms of lenght they dont look that different.
@M 40 What is a party? A partial time job?
XDXD

Top comment imo
Wow, I can't believe what talent you can display on the contra bass. Never in my life have I heard sounds anything like that. The percussive slapping sounds like african percussion. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you 😘
Well... I think it is safe to say you destroyed him. SLAPPed him down. Hard. With a recorder. |*scratches head*| A recorder. I had no idea. Mind Blowing. Well done and thank you.
Didn't expect music to be played on futuristic sniper rifles, but I'm not gonna complain
Shoot this notes
Underrated comment
Music is a weapon
This comment is right on target.
This made me giggle...thanks xD
"They don't look all that different" - one looks like a pepper mill and the other looks like an engine part?

No dude it looks more like a projector from school 😂
This is why I love Sarah. She's always positive and nice and enthusiastic. In a world with so much negativity, it's nice to be around people like her.
You just got the attention of the second grade recorder class!
Hiiii! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 Say a big hi to the class from me 😊
My heart just melted when she played "concerning hobbits". Bilbo, you will be missed
played in memory of him
I need to rewatch Lord of the rings for the 5th time
Sounded more like In Dreams.
Damn same. It made me feel like I'm back at the LOTR universe again.
@@jeffk.9075 You're right. It was in dreams, not concerning hobbits.
Davie: can we slap this bass? No. Not aprove
Sarah: slaps with her tongue
Davie: omg
Davie: A nice addition to under my desk
She can slap my recorder with her tongue anytime.
Giggity giggity giggity goo!
Epico
Mind Blowing!
EPICO
Actually i didn't know any of these exist. Thank you very much for that introduction, i really appreciate it!
And thanks Davie for redirecting to her channel offering us a broader perspective on music
I only have five -- sopranino through bass -- but when somebody who didn't know there were more sizes of recorder is impressed by the bass, I say, "there's a size smaller than sopranino that doesn't fit my fingers, and several sizes larger than the bass that don't fit my bank account." I've had my eye on a Paetzold for ages.
(I also play bass guitar, double bass, and a bunch of treble instruments.)
Sarah actually ease my depression slightly. She seem so nice and I get happy from her happiness. Also, I just ordered a Thomann alto recorder so I can play it in bed for those "don't wanna get up :("-mornings and become a bit happier by that too! Without getting killed by my soprano's death squeaks lol
I’m so happy to hear that! Welcome to the Team 😊🥰 Alto is a great choice- it has a more mellow sound. I hope you enjoy it!
"2 bass out of 5"
Sarah: "That's actually pretty generous"
Me: "Wait, what?"
Stop fucking follow me, jesus christ
go get a life
U killed my dog ?
Just Some Guy without a Mustache reeeee
u again lol
Did she just tongue slaped a bass recorder?
Approved!
O.M.G ( Davie 504's voice)
that's exactly what I thought watching the video. I just said "oh..." with a NICE smile
a tonge master
checkmate
9:00 reminds me of a time in high school marching band when our two piccolo players found out they could make an awful noise by playing extremely high notes a half step apart from each other. :D
This also sounded like the exact pitch your phone makes when you get a tornado alert
Sometimes I do this with (to?) my students if they're zoning out to get their attention
Half step in the march or in the tone?
If the march, the awful sound was likely you screaming at them.
I've never been in a marching band, but used to get yelled at alot while drilling on the parade ground, btw.
It's very similar with ocarinas, the lower ones are more quiet. But the world's largest ocarina was actually part of a pipe organ because they couldn't fit pipes that big in the building. I have a bass in A, which is the lowest I have, but there are so many sizes and shapes of wind instruments. Ocarinas I like because they're usually a little smaller. Even the biggest ones available for purchase are less than 3lbs or so and can be carried around easily.
"...Don't look all that different..."
(Holds up basset and grenade launcher)
chimetimepaprika bahahaha
eheheheheehehe
Holly shit that's funny.
No one: Lets turn an Ikea bookcase into a flute
Sarah: nice
Comment of the day 😂🤣
Recorder*
Not f l u t e
Looking at the multiplex edge on that F contrabass, it is probably more robust than most Ikea products.
I thought the same-
that lord of thee rings melody gave me dirty goosebumps! well done girl! :D
that contra bAss sounds like the entire bar band in star wars
Davie504 vs Twoset
Meanwhile, recorder gang: *laughing in the dark*
Is it just me or both channels are actually purposely picking fight to many instruments to just actually be seen as the bad guys but actually giving them support and exposure other instruments deserve.
하중이HajungieKato nice point of view!
@@Carmellx
That's obvious. It's fun bantering and battling.
@@Carmellx I think that's the whole point of their "challenges", to support other music channels with a boost in views and probably also new subscribers. Is a win-win situation for everyone.
I literally laugh with the comment lol
Probably the only time a video should actually been recorded vertically.
Underrated comment.
😂😂😂😂
Wait I don’t get it lol
@@leonoramaya the instruments are so big recording it horizontally wouldn't look proper in that aspect that it makes more sense to film vertically.
Ed Ceja oh! I guess I see your point now lol
I watch Davie's channel so naturally YT's algorithm thought I should see this.
I found you informative and delightful.
Consider me subscribed.
The sound of those contrabass recorders is amazing and I love your rhythmic expressive way of playing, it reminds me of didgeridoo
My favorite part is when she pulled out a table leg and played it like a didgeridoo.
Never laughed so hard on Monday morning!
lmao
sorry Davie.. but she SLAPPED real good..
the black instrument looks like it can shoot a charged particle hyper beam
It's not slap it's tap
And press
what makes you think it can't :p
An alien technology
Then can davie play a bass without using hands or feet but only by blowing air on it ;D
I love the friendly ribbing these fantastic musicians give one another. What a great opportunity to learn about instruments. Thank you for the demos, Sarah and Team Recorder!
I gotta say I kinda like the "clickity clack" of the paddles on those recorders. I think it adds a bit more rhythm to the whole musical piece being played. As a drummer (who also plays other instruments) I really like it when there is a clear and defined rhythmic feel to the music. Some people practice to a metronome because they find it easier to keep time. The clickity clack of the paddles kind of acts like a pseudo metronome....as long as the person has rhythm that is haha.
"By attaching these other 3 pieces we get the classical sound"
*plays Concerning Hobbits*
You have earned my subscription

That's the only song I know how to play on a recorder.
What instrument do you play?
This girl: I play the Jenga tower
😂😂 it does look like that but sounds amazing
Or the telephone pole for that subcontrabass
"Are you ready to get nerdy?" I need that on a T Shirt.
"Are you majoring in recorder or percussion?" "Yes"
4:01 “so these keys physically allow you to SLAP it”
checkmate davie 504
OMG! When I slapped like, it said 169 likes. Only REAL SLAPPERS will LMAO at this incredible achievement!!!
Nunya Bizness davie 504 would be proud i am proud of you 👍
“There is always a bigger recorder” -Qui-gon Gin, probably
Best comment here. You made me laugh a lot hahah. Thanks !!
Yup. Not Jinn. Gin.
Haha and then I killed him
@@liambeers8458 And now you're dead
You can say that about a lot of classical instruments. People are constantly trying to make bigger versions of wind instruments in particular
That deepest recorder & the double contrabass flute both in C make another good duo.
Very cool! Love the percussive sounds you make with the "box" recorders. So cool!
This video is pure "but wait, there's more!" Moments
Agreed, and the best of that genre is Taco Town: ruclips.net/video/evUWersr7pc/видео.html
Bass guitarist here: can confirm that these absolutely slap.
BASSIST, not bass GUITARIST. Not approved.
Guitarist here: can confirm it doesn't djent
@@gigihanmandarin As the video covers, there's more than one kind of bass. As someone who plays the bass guitar and string bass, I'm acknowledging the bass legitimacy of a bass recorder player, just as I would a bass sax or tuba player.
Absolutely brilliant. This reminds me of the flute family, of course, with its ridiculous array of bass instruments. Absolutely stunning what can't be done with them timbrally. So much of it sounds like avant garde music from the 1950s and 1960s. Shades of John Cage and David Tudor...
I played the E-flat Contra Bass Clarinet in HS, and finding the Bass Recorder really helped me to recapture some of the feeling of playing my preferred instrument. Love seeing your fancy recorders! Mine is just a Yamaha, lol. Subbed!! Also came here from Davie's channel!
She SLAPP, she use FINGERSTYLE, she monitor U-boats with PERISCOPE. APPROVED.
AWESOME!

concurred
Epico !

To take part in some competition might be rediculos. For example when wood wind player challenges bassist. :)
ABSOLUTELY
First, both of them need to practice 40 hours a day
@@CzarsSalad I dunno about Davie504, but Sarah Jeffry definitely does.
I really, really learned something new today! And I had absolutely no little glimps of a quiet idea, that this would be possible! Thank you very much!
😘😘
what a blast, that tongue roll at 5:40 sounded so good. Thanks for sharing!
Not only did she slapp, the instruments got bigger. I don’t think Davie will be able to resist
unless he can get his hands on an Octobass
Davie is omg ING right now.
@@Milan____ he did. "ruclips.net/video/3K3VdVbBOxw/видео.html"
OMG, she kept showing bigger instruments with lower notes. I was wondering when she was going to pull out the Titanic
🤣😂🤣
Davey has a tiny bass? Epic response!
Videos like yours are why this platform is still a viable place for human existence. Thank you so much for such a great description!! I also can’t get enough of all those basses!!
Naww thanks!
O.M.G.!!!!!
I love how Davie connects the musician community with calling out people (humorously), challenging them and introducing them to his own followers. One day he'll have a full orchestra of musicians he crossed paths with and is sitting there like: " *EPIC* "
An entire orchestra all slapping their instruments
I read 'EPIC' in his voice 😂 'Lmao'
@@copshotakid5764 Same 😂
For real.
I reckon!!!
ngl some of these recorders are quite slappable
Woah u have a lot of subs lol
Spank that bass dont slap it, it disciplines your bass to respect you
Approved ✔️
Yoooo wut you watch team recorder
The slap tongue bit was brilliant! . I admire your sense of humour about all this. I love Davy, Charles Berthoud, and now, you.
AMAZING contrabass playing, Sarah! Wow!
I've never seen anyone play a wooden telescope before.
Dude that's mean :-(
HAHAHAHAHA
Lmao
it looks like a periscope indeed!
Davie: “tHe BeSt bAss is BaSs”
Sarah: “Bilbo, hold my ring”
*sLaP*
What
The Hester lady was playing a SUPER BASS
You must watch Davie to understand that he loves all sorts of instruments but enjoys and is talented on bass. It's not dogging on the instrument, it's just a joke
This gives me stage 4 cancer
But does anyone get the reference
When you played the lowest note on the contrabass I went “whoooaaa!” That’s so awesome! Then I heard the sub bass and literally squealed and then I died with the great bass lol. I started watching you because my 5 year old son is starting his recorder in school but I refused to buy a cheapie recorder and I’m a nerd so research was needed and I’m so happy to watch your channel now. I have a thing about the recorder sounding good. I used to play pretty well in my day and I’m a singer so I can’t stand the tinnie off key thing which I know I will have some of while he is learning so I needed to make sure of which one to buy. I had a decent Yamaha in my day but I’ve gone with an aulos for him based on your recommendations. I actually considered an alto recorder but that probably isn’t a great idea lol. Loving the content
I honestly didn't have any idea that these massive recorders exist. Brilliant. At this point you should challenge Dave to a bass battle.
PS. I liked and subscribed 😊
No matter how big a recorder is, there's always another even bigger.
- Qui-Gon Jinn, Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace
Why is it even called.. A recorder?
@@trrrmac Because it was made to capture (record) bird sounds
@@trrrmac The biggest is just called a Record
The biggest is called recordest
Now I'm even more angry at my old music teacher who told me that the recorder wasn't a real instrument and I needed to pick a different one to continue studying music! I could have eventually gotten to play a huge variety of machine gun and table leg looking recorders...
Love this!! 😂😂😂
Take care these things "only" shoot air waves with different pitches, nothing like Einsteins dream: "Ich wollte immer auf einem Lichtstrahl reiten" ;-) I always wanted to ride with the speed of light. But amazing, like the very big Organ Pipes the deep sound makes vibrations you can feel e.g. With the feets, lung etc. not only listen, and long before the invention of electronic amplifiers. Reminds me also about US-Type of steam engines whistles, Big boy on arrival, nomen est omen, these pieces are simply B I G, wauhaaahhhuuuuuuu with a roll, and yes the same is true for big German type steam engines, you can hear them from 2 miles behind the hill, nota bene!
Funniest comment 😂🤣
He's still correct. It's not a real instrument. It's tone is terrible, weaker than Prego spaghetti sauce. It's like, a noise maker that can play noise in pitch.
@@silentdrowning You a brass player? That sounds like something someone from the brass section would say.
Dear Contributor. Congratulations. Absolutely. This presentation is the very reason for RUclips to exist. I am now walking around with puffs of air under my feet after being so warmly encouraged to "Go Bass". This note goes to you from the Antipodes and so I can report that you almost achieved Didgeridoo Chromaticism. But the thing is that The "Digge" can be slapped. Yep. You and that wonderful other Bass playeer might like to look at the Worlds Oldest musical Instrument.
The sound of these recorders is amaaaaaaazing. Love it!

Stumbled onto you happily and have to say there was plenty of slap and clap the larger up the scale you went. Nice example of the harmonic overtone series with the two recorders together. Smart stuff, bravo
String players: slapp is sacrilegious
Recorder player: slaps like a champ

Same here!!! I immediately commented 🧝🏻
As a "standard" elementary school recorder player (soprano?) and electric bassist, I had no idea any of those huge recorders existed. Wow! Besides definitely being slappable, as you demonstrated beautifully, they also look like periscopes. Put a mirror up top and you'd have a better view of your audience.
