Aulos Haka and Aulos Symphony (509B) = *Best of The Best* _(*speaking about factory made ABS resin recorders)_ Absolutely AMAZING altos. My deep respect to Aulos Co.
Hello Arwen, I enjoyed your video on the Aulos Haka and the Bonsor books. I’m already going from a tenor to the Haka alto using these books. You have inspired me to keep going!!
Hopefully one day I'll be able to record all the pieces from the Bonsor book and put them on youtube. Kind of thing you see with other instrument method books. Might be something for me to aim at, unfortunately I'm too much of a beginner to do that now. . . . maybe a couple of years!
Thanks, what about the low G sharp/A flat? It's really hard for me to get a good sound on my plastic Yamaha and even on my wooden Mollenhauer denner in pearwood. Harder to play than that the F sharp/G flat. Is this also 'a recorder thing'?
Hi Hoefje, great question, I think it is a technique thing. On recorder, the movement that pushes and pulls your 3rd finger between G and G# needs to come from your wrist not just a finger movement.
@@arwenacoustic795 Thanks Arwen. This is good advise. Still the G# 'breaks' easier than the others do. It's mostly ennoying when playing with others, so I might need to get another recorder that is stronger in the low notes. Would you have an advise on which one? Would be great if you could compare some of your alto's on this subject. In the comparisons I've found so far I don't think the #'s of the double holes are played.
I love the playing around with blues scale.
Nicely produced which I view to assist my introduction to these as possible instruments for learning.

That is lovely to hear and yes defo keep going! :)
Very interesting! Thank you! :)
I like number 61 from the first book. Also the first tune you played from the second book.
Here's a link to 61 Bonny at Morn www.folktunefinder.com/tunes/141499 :)
The Bonsor book is very good, it's the one that I'm going through.
It is great for adults I think :)
