    Thank you very much for the tour of your Workshop. Decades ago I had hoped to visit in person. This was most satisfactory. It ranks with my visit to ateliers of of artist model clarinets and piccolos.

    This attention to detail is what makes me trust any of my instruments to their care.

    What a wonderful video! It brings back memories of my younger days-I cherish the recorders and one keyed-flute that Friedrich made for me. I am glad to see his meticulous artistry carried on by Patrick and his colleagues.

    Thank for taking the time to make this lovely video. Seeing the gun drill in action would have been fun. It was great to see the restoration of the contrabass, too. Bravo. Not a computer anywhere to be seen.

    As a recorder maker myself I really appreciate how open you are about your practices, kudos! I got some ideas about changes in my own process. Thanks!

    This makes me think that we should pay more for fine instruments. Yesterday, before watching this I was thinking "how come these things are so expensive?" Now I'm thinking "Wow, we are lucky to be living in a world of such plenty.

      Thanks for your perspective. It's difficult to price instruments, as most customers still wonder, "How come these things are so expensive?" It takes as much time and labor to make a soprano or sopranino recorder as it does an alto, but our instinct is to look at a sopranino and say, "Well it's so much smaller than an alto - why does it cost so much?" We try to juggle the cost of making an instrument against the public perception of value.

    I bought a cheaper recorder for my son from Amazon that he needed at school. It was only maybe 60 bucks but I thought it would be better than the $10 ones or the 5 for $20 the teacher was selling for $8 each. When I got it, I noticed finish was very bumpy close up and it had a very light coat of gloss on it and I thought it looked very sloppy then I looked inside the recorder and noticed that the inside was very, very bumpy like just pieces of wood protruding out Like I was done with a dull life. rather than return it I gave it a really good sand job like you using the grits you mentioned to get rid of all the finish/smoothe it out, also fixed the inside and then buffed it up so it shined naturall. it looks and sounds so much better. I made it pretty much flawless. I used to get camera with a macro lens to make sure everything was done properly. I’m a little bit perfectionist lol

    Absolutely incredible craftsmanship!! I have been searching for a recorder that is in 444hz. My plastic aulos is a 442. I would love a recorder in whole tone- most woodwind instruments in 444 or 432 are tribal flutes. They are beautiful, too, but a recorder in that tone would be a dream!! If you make them please let me know!! Thank you so much🎼🎶💐

    9:00 that's an old Craftsman (Atlas) lathe, made in the 70s perhaps. Cool that you're getting value from the old thing. The lathe at 11:30 is probably a 608 model.

    How important is it to have the finger holes be circular? Can oval finger holes in either axis affect intonation?
    Partially asking because I'll be 3D designing and printing one in the near future and while I can drill/ream holes out to make sure it's the proper circular shape, many printers will sag a little bit if they are printing or bridging over an air gap, causing ovality in what is supposed to be circular holes unless it has a water droplet shape built into the design to help counter the sag.

    I could use those warped pieces. I would love to be able to carve it down and use the warp so it has a different shape, and resembles an actual branch.

    As a retired machinist/modelmaker I find this quite interesting. Love the broaching machine ! Have to wonder if you ever considered CNC for some of the operations. Amazed to see this in the USA

    Real, honest to goodness, professionally made wooden Recorders sound SO MUCH better than what I was exposed to in High school music class.
    That Flamed Maple might be suitable for a violin back plate.
    Nice Lathe fixturing.
    I bet you need good lungs to play a contra bass recorder, I bet they require lots of wind, delivered smoothly for the duration of each note. I bet that is hard to do.

    Please, I was wondering: are recorders ever made from any of the following types of wood: cherry, mahogany, and/or walnut?
    Thank you.

    Please, please get that wood properly listed and decide what you are going to use and what could go to a good home. Lots of other people would be able to use what you don't need, and some of this stuff is far too precious to waste.
