    Hey everyone! Thanks all for watching! Just wanted to make one thing clear: yes, I know Twoset's video is a joke, and no, I was not offended by it 😂 I thought I made that clear in my video but maybe not 😜 Twoset are awesome and hopefully one day you'll see a recorder/violin collab 😎 Have a good day! ❤️

      "I play viola" "OMG I NEED YOU IN MY ENSEMBLE PLEASE I WILL DO ANYTHING!"
      "I play recorder" "lol thats not a real instrument, I can play that, I played it when I was 6"

      @@malahamavet The two are fundamentally the same in terms of design and technique. The Violin is the highest on the register; the lowest pitch string is G3 the highest string is the E-String 5 (both instruments have 4 strings with 4 notes between each). The Viola's lowest bitch string is C3, and whilst the G, D, A strings that follow are the same pitch as the violin's (I think from observing as a violinist, might be incorrect), the sound is different, given the Viola body's depth and additional length, producing a darker more woody sound.
      Indeed, the Viola is the butt of jokes in the String Community due to its similarity to the Violin and the fact that they usually never lead an ensemble, getting lost in between the Violin and Cello. When I was in school orchestra I was mystified by their presence "What do you guys do again, apart from pretending your violins?" Ho-ho.

    Personally, I think the recorder gets a bad rap because every elementary music teacher uses them with her class full of kids. (It's the same way with xylophones.) When you have kids bopping one another on the head and turning them into lightsabers the children don't grow up feeling as though they are "real" instruments. I bet the majority of people have never actually heard a professional recorder player in their life. If they did I think many attitudes would change in regards to this beautiful instrument. You should do a collaboration with 2set. It would be amazing to hear you guys play together. 💕

I'm a violinist but at one time I took the recorder quite seriously and practiced intently; so that particular TwoSet video offended me, even though I tried to find it funny, in some way. I hate to say it, because I love these guys and what they've done for classical music the world over. But it was cheap shot, and therefore by definition a lapse in judgement.

Just a good laugh and some vague interest that made me click on this suggested video. And oh boy, it did make my jaw drop.

      Just so you understand recorder gets no skill to produce a sound while even cheapest sideblown flute does, if Eddy tried to pull the same trick with a flute he'd fail miserably. And there's more recorder in music than you imagine, like go play any celtic or something like that medieval game and listen to music, you'd surely hear a recorder here and there.

      But why had they to pick apart the recorder particularly? It already has a bit of a...lower reputation, almost not to be taken seriously as an instrument. I wholeheartedly disagree to this, I was a recorder player for 20 years (though I have to admit I did not get to a comparable level to the lady in this video). Even it was meant to be funny, I felt offended by it. Yes, we should work together, not make each other ridiculous. And yes, a collab or at least a reaction video from TwoSet could save this mess.

    Ironically, it was watching TwoSet that encouraged me to learn an instrument (aged 50+ !!) - and I chose the recorder! That was a year ago. Now I’m studying for grade 4, and am learning the treble and sopranino as well as the descant. I love Sarah’s channel, but also love TwoSet! Their light-hearted approach kept me going through my first disastrous public performance and my exam nerves. Hooray for TwoSet and Sarah - it’s amazing to feel part of a musical community through both these RUclips channels. I thought TwoSet’s recorder/violin comparison was funny - and also enjoyed Sarah’s reactions 😆

This is also my first time watching any of your videos and I just knew I had to subscribe. I never knew there were soo many freaking techniques into the recorder and there were soo many other instruments you needed to collect to play the recorder professionally, and honestly this is the first time I even knew contrabases existed! No tea no shade taken at all and thank you for acknowledging what twoset intended the video to be. I actually tried to get into the recorder back in highschool but all I got was just bullying and teasing and my family wasn't very supportive of me getting into music, add to that being in a very rural place recorders weren't such a big thing back then so I quit altogether eventually. I wish there were more opportunities for me back then. Can't help playing this video again and again just to see your amazing (lowkey flexing) playing hahaha.

    Also i used to be in a folk group where kids could learn and play folk music. The recorder was quite popular there and there was this one older guy and i was just in awe about his playing. It made me wanna learn more about the music you can produce on a recorder. The things you showed in this video make me wanna learn even more.
    Edit: there is a video twoset made about a year ago called "the best instrument in the world" where they talk about how its really difficult. They showed a video of a sixteen year-old playing and were impressed by her technique and called her a recorder lingling.

    Hey, I found your channel because of the TSV video. We know Brett and Eddy and we know they are more likely to make fun of other instruments. They do Viola jokes, Bass jokes etc as well, all just as silly. You just can't take their shenanigans too seriously.
    I love your videos and they are a great source of information and inspiration but I haven't got another recorder yet (since school). Instead, about five months ago I picked up the Irish whistle and now I make Irish whistles. I never saw that coming LOL, but somewhere in the DNA of that is the professionalism I have taken from your videos. Both TSV and Team Recorder videos make me want to practice.
    The whistle is the recorder's cousin from the poor side of town, but I make the best whistles I can. They probably sound more like recorders, if a recorder had a brass body.
    BTW the gliss technique (partly covering the bell hole) works to get into the second octave on the whistle too. It controls the break, but seems like it will need a lot of practice.
