I'm a shakuhachi player. My instrument has 5 holes in total. There are 7 hole shakuhachi, but they are primarily used for contemporary pieces. The traditional timbres used in honkyoku get lost when you add more holes. It's all about partial holing, slight embouchure differences and angle of airstream (meri/kari movements, the 'soul' of the instrument).
Sarah, I'm very impressed by the extreme top end of your playing on this bass. The plastic knick Yamaha ( which I love) is very tough above the high E.
Lovely, this! Easier on the stretch than the Tenor, but I still practice my Tenor, too! My daughter is working on her (c,f,c,f,g,f,g,f) exercises I gave her, so she will stop looking down at her fingers for placement, and I showed her how to find leaks. It's mostly little things, like hand, wrist, and finger alignment; however, she's persevering, and loves practicing the recorder. These videos are wonderful encouragement for me, and I shown her a few, and she adores them. Thank you so much for this!
@@Hiroyuki_T I have it. I struggle a lot with its high F. And goes no higher than G. Though my hand are not small it is very tiring to play, since I prefer not to use the crook (it condenses water too easily), so the stretching of the right hand is noticeable, I wish Sarah could make a video for this issue...
Everyone needs to turn on auto generated English subtitles. I didn't realize it was auto generated at first so what I thought was a joke about maybe background sounds....wasn't. So then it felt creepy. Kind of a THEN WHO WAS PHONE? moment. 0.0 Start at 2:40... I'll make you wait a bit for it!
My guess would be it's something wonky with the AI or whatever, like maybe it thinks people are laughing or applauding cause it doesn't know how to label the sound of a recorder? Idk though, just I've seen similar sorts of subtitles in other videos from a lot of other channels
Recently I've been playing my bass/bassette recorder. Trying to develop my wind/sustain and just recently noting how exhausted my right arm gets! Love the sound, so mellow. So very glad you did the earlier vlog about getting started with the bass...which I heeded and proceeded to get.
Ive just been asked to compose some recorder part for a song I'm working in and I'm bringing all your videos to learn what sort of thing is possible and sort of thing sounds good! Great resource thank you for your work!
I've just ordered my first Bass, a Yamaha. Thank you for this, it's invaluable. There don't seem to be many tutorials around for it. I also have your one for bass beginners . Looking forward to trying bass. Small 'typo'. I think there should be one more ledger line on the last notes? Your videos are all wonderful and so entertaining. Thanks so much xx
Wow that's some range! I saw you fluttering the fingers of your right hand on the low D#. Just getting the kinks out or creating vibrato? I was playing my Yamaha bas recorder - actually sampling it to play in a software sampler instrument - but I sure had problems with squeaks and over blowing. I know it takes work I used to play clarinet and some sax, but I'm thinking there are some leaks.
Oh, dear Sarah! What a beautiful video you made. I really wanted to have a Bass Recorder. In the end I bought a branded set: Kirstein, which set already included five recorders including one Bass Recorder. It was a very convenient offer compared to buying all the pieces separately, so I said to myself: now or never. Then I tried it and I understood that the fingering should be a little adapted to the instrument you have. Thanks for the explanation and for sharing. Bye Bye . . .
Loving that the three music channels I subscribe to (Team Recorder, TwosetViolin, and Davie504) are interacting... btw, we need a bass recorder solo to please Davie504 hehehe
I have the same Yahama bass, as do three of the other members of our group. Those fingerings are pretty much the same as I have been using except that I have never tried to go above the high G. The high Eb has been a problem for me and your fingering works well, so thanks for that especially.
So Sarah, I saw on your previous you were missing a book of repertoire for the unaccompanied bass recorder: "Solos for Bass Recorder, selected & arranged by Eric Haas." He arranged a bunch of music from medieval dances, ricercare, and even several movements from one of J.S. Bach's cello suites. It can be ordered from the Von Huene workshop. I'm having a bunch of fun playing through this repertoire. There are some easy pieces, but some of the music is not for the tame. I highly recommend this book.
Thanks for the video! When I first got a bass recorder I thought it was defective because of how out of tune the uh... What would be Bb on C recorders, was. Luckily, my efforts to learn 3rd octave fingerings had led me to a PDF with tons of alternate fingerings and that plus your own comments on how the best alternate fingerings vary by instrument made me think to Google information specific to the bass and I found my answer!
On my (early) plastic Yamaha, I can get the third register F# with 0- 1234 67. In other words, it looks like the first register Bb with a half-hole thumb. Thanks for a great video!
Sarah thank you thank you thank you. It's been super helpful. I've been wanting to see the notes on basset recorder for a long time now. So super thank you for this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why am I here? The Mandalorian theme opening. Haunting and timeless. Ludwig Göransson has given this instrument massive cred and respect. This is the way...
"Some notes have different fingerings on different models" - I was baffled by the 0-/1/2-/4/5 F5 ("sounding" pitch) on my Aulos Symphony 533B, but now I'm relieved, nothing strange about it.
Thank you. I thought my Yamaha plastic bass was broken as I couldn't play the low E flat. I had discovered that 13 5 worked, then you showed us just 13! Perfect. What do you think of the Autos Symphony bass?
What is your trick for remembering the low c# ? I’m used to playing sop or tenor as a flute/ sax player also, so that finger combo is really unfamiliar to me, thank you 😊
Hi Sarah, I'm so glad I found your channel! I have a Hohner "Konzert" bass recorder in F that I'm trying to learn how to play. It has 2 keys. The upper one covers the 4th and 5th holes, although the key where it covers the 5th is open. That means you can cover the 4th hole, or the 4th and the 5th, but not just the 5th, while leaving the 4th open. The lower key is a single one, for the 7th finger (to reach the bottom F) rather than a split key like yours. I can't figure out how to get that F#, since I'm supposed to half-cover the hole, which the single key doesn't seem to allow. Does that make sense? Is there some way to get that half-open effect with a key?
I just started out on the bassett/bass recorder and I am wondering if you could maybe share a fingering chart on all the notes? It is hard for me to see which fingers you are putting down and which ones are up. Thank you for this video, it's what first got me interested in the bass recorder :)
I was just wondering the same thing -- I was putting all of the fingerings that she was doing in a spreadsheet (will be easier for me to memorize, and I can also put them next to the alto fingerings for my brain to compare easily) and I realized that she skipped the G#/Ab5. On my Thomann Bass (first bass just received as a gift, which I realize may have it's own tuning issues from reviews) I can get a G#/Ab5 with 0-1 4 6
sounds more like those really large panpipes. I like the alto and bace recorders best as they are both in F probably because I play the Northumbrian pipes witch are also in F. how much is one of these?
Sarah, thank you for the great information! I go to school for Choral Conducting, but have taken up Recorder playing as a hobby, since I’m a fan of early music, and love the repertoire and sound of recorders. Is there any website/resources for looking up Ensembles/repair shops that you (or anyone!) would recommend? I live in California, and I’m having a hard time finding any group in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
I’ve actually seen a bass recorder that possesses a bassoon like metal tube mouthpiece. But it was a plastic recorder in the colours of black and creme
That windy sound that one can hear from high D and up, is it common on modern bassettes, or is it more hearable due to the phone recording? I do not have it on my old Moeck Tuju (late 70's, early 80's) but I bought a newer plastic (aulos symphony 533b) one that sounded exactly the same as your Yamaha on high D and up. I sent it back. Now I was considering a Yamaha (like yours) or Moeck Rottenburgh, but I really would not like that windy sound. The Tuju (that is said to be a "not very good" recorder by everyone) sounds so sweet and clear (but with some strange fingerings since it is german fingering and old). Also it has a loud sound volume compared to Mollenhauer Denner for example. I often play tenor parts with it. Too bad for me, I can't try out before buying, since I live too far away. I have to buy and send back, and thats not very nice.
Would you mind measuring and sharing the pitch you get with all fingers off all holes? I assume it's pretty close to G#/Ab. Curious as a woodworking hobbyist.
3:53 Yikes! I don’t know how helpful it was, but it was certainly painful. 😲 That is unless you're a moose in “The Great White North.” 😊 But I digress, nevertheless, as the old saying goes, “No pain - no gain.” 😉
You get so much volume! ???? I have to blow real gentle otherwise I crack the note??? Yours is a nice clear note??? Musescore, which I use for my all flute scores, can also be used for the Bassette and has a Bassette sound but it sounds like it is tonguing each note with a slight "crack" on each note. Hmmm? You hooked me from a flute to the Bassette so please more Howto's, I'm on my own here. Even my music tutor hasn't a clue...
How heavy is the base recorder? Any recomendations for neckstraps for alto-and-larger? (I have CTS and tendonitis issues...so if I play my alto too much I’m definitely paying for it later, despite easily having the reach.)
Hi Sarah. A favor. Can you record a video about the Yamaha fife YRF 21, please? Does it have an alternative fingering for sharp and flat notes? It's too difficult to achieve that notes in tune with the classical fingering (F# is almost the same that G, for instance). Thank you. Greetings from Argentina.
i’m looking for a used bass recorder, something like a moeck tuju. but i’m a bit confused with the keys. what are the main differences in having 3 or 5 keys?
Something I was randomly wondering recently is do B-flat tenor recorders exist? I know some low whistle makers have Bb bass whistles (pitched at Bb3 just below C4 yet above a Basset recorder in F3), but wonder if anyone done recorders in Bb to possibly align with other B-flat instruments better.
I think that's why the little 8 is at the top of the clef. In choir anyway, I know the tenors sometimes sing on a treble clef with an 8 at the bottom to signify that it's an octave lower that the standard treble clef. My guess is that the 8 at the top means it's an octave higher than the standard bass clef.
Angelica wouldn’t it be cool if they used a treble clef with the little 8 at the bottom for bass recorder so that you wouldn’t have to learn how to read bass clef 😉
Knowing only treble clef is not smart enough and that is not cool. In another video Sarah said recorder players must be smart because they can read bass clef. Well, actually Viola player is the smartest because they can read C clef. Haha, joke.
As the Bass Recorder is only a tone lower than the Violin, should it not be really called the Alto Recorder? And the Great Bass be called the Tenor? And Contrabass the Baritone? And Sub-contrabass the Bass?
Then what wpuld you call the tenor, alto, soprano and sopranino size recorders which are actually in much more common usage? It's also just convention from earlier times.
@@Rik77 You would have to re-name them as well in theory. But it does make sense to re-name the Recorder family to be more logical, just like the lower members of the Flute family has done.
@@markfromoakdale i see what ypu mean, ots a nice idea in theory. it's hard to enforce language change in practice. Language changes naturally by itself. So it's much easier to stick to The names everyone knows. Everyone knows what an alto recorder is. If you try to change the name, everyone will be confused. Flute size names I think have always been the way they are as well.
I have the Woodi Bass Recorder and it will NOT play 2nd octave notes and the volume for the lower ones are very weak. I even tried masking tape on all holes to check for leaks. Still no good. Do you have any suggestions?

Your music teacher didn’t have you play recorder in elementary school?
I have never seen one.
I don't play the recorder. I can't even hear the difference between the notes! And I'm still here and find this weirdly interesting.
Haha same. I play guitar what am I doing here.
I was having breakfast and suddenly I am here
I’m just thinking how funny it would’ve been back in elementary school music class to pull this out when it’s time to play the recorder.
it wouldnt fit in the recorder basket
@@temmiefromundertale6228a basket? I would think they would use cubbies instead.n
A tenor would suffice. Still somewhat big but same key as soprano and same fingerings so it would still blend well with the rest of the class.
Nobody:
The rich kid in middle school during recorder lessons:
Avertia same. I was extra and bought my own recorder😂
I never did this. I play violin instead
This is the final boss of elementary school music
Sadly not. There are bigger bass recorders out there and they are a monstruosity.
@@Alpiste_1846_official I'm sure thats why he said elementray l0l
Nope, the Sub-subcontrabass recorder is the final boss.

holy crap it never stops, I thought the joke of the thumbnail was it only plays one note and it's a dumb instrument but CLEARLY NOT
Dont think that recorders are just toys in fact theyre also as difficult as other instruments
The automated subs just keep saying [Laughter], [Applause] and “Hey”. Coupled with the haunting single notes it’s just this side of creepy

How do you play high Ab on the bass?
I was just wondering the same thing -- I was putting all of the fingerings that she was doing in a spreadsheet (will be easier for me to memorize, and I can also put them next to the alto fingerings for my brain to compare easily) and I realized that she skipped the G#/Ab5.

Amazing sound This flute is very beautiful
best bass ever
sounds more like those really large panpipes.
I like the alto and bace recorders best as they are both in F
probably because I play the Northumbrian pipes witch are also in F.

1:48 2:00 2:04 2:15 2:00 1:39 1:48
So, why did you miss the high G#? Is this a limitation of the instrument or did you just (accidentally) skip the note?
Did you figure out?
starting with piano is a real advantage for reading bass clef
Is this a YRB-61, Sarah? Because I just got a YRA-61 today in boxwood, which I just played along to this with. And what wood is this in?

I have the Woodi Bass Recorder and it will NOT play 2nd octave notes and the volume for the lower ones are very weak. I even tried masking tape on all holes to check for leaks. Still no good. Do you have any suggestions?
Amazing!
Would someone please tell me how to play the 3rd octive G#/Ab? 🤔
Would it be correct playing it just use the G key like on alto?
Do you practice 40hrs a day?
How can you close the golden holes on the bass recorder halfway?
