She got me started again last year at christmas, hadn't played since school, the soprano, which nobody really enjoyed that much,, but it all changed when I decided to purchase a new recorder 🙂 and now I play tenor recorder like a pro, carols and all -- it all came back almost as soon as I started practicing
Sarah with her eyes sparkling out of joy for the pleasure of trying two new instruments 😁 As for me I'm reminded of the adage: "careful what you wish for...". I've commented in the past about my problems in covering the holes, about how difficult it is for me especially in the two/four lower holes. Now I have a recorder with keys for all the holes and... I'm not sure I really like it.
I bought one of these a year ago at the SRP festival in UK, basically because it was too cool a thing not to buy. It took me (untalented ageing crone) much more than 3 mins to play at any speed and I am still slower on it than on a traditional style recorder. People in the comments complain about the expense, but I think the sound is just as good (although different) to my similarly priced baroque tenor. I guess a lot of work goes into them after the bits have been printed! It is massively more comfortable, although much easier to play sitting down than standing up. I've since bought the great bass too (and would buy others if they were available!). One of my keys warped but it got replaced for free (eventually!). I think they are improving construction methods all the time as my replacement key is clearly stronger. I still find the top notes difficult on both the tenor and GB - you played them so beautifully! The allen key is to tighten the screw on the thumbrest!!! You will need it once the thumbrest gets loose. Yes it (the hole) is invisible! ;-)
I've had my tenor since it first came out and agree with everything you say, Sarah, especially about the streams of air for high and low notes. Because I have an arthritic right thumb joint I can't balance conventional round recorders properly any more, so the Paetzold range is ideal for me and I have tenor, F bass, C bass and contra now. Earlier this year I got a spike for the tenor, which I saw it being used in a video that Paetzold posted, and that makes it even easier to hold. (I had to somehow balance the end on my knee before!). I also have spikes for the two basses, of course. It took a little time to get used to the tenor and its naturally big sound but I love it and, of course, it gives me four instruments to offer in a group again now that I can't balance descant or treble on my thumb. [PS We met on the very enjoyable and useful 8ft course you tutored at Lyme Regis. I hope you'll do another some time!]
Hi, Sarah, Your videos are super instructive, fun and inspiring. As a young composer, I was wondering, if you'd consider doing a short composer's guide to the recorder, in particular with regards to notation. So, basically, for all the special effects in particular, what is common to use and what you as a professional like in a good recorder part. Love from Austria
1:52 really took me places. I always thought the recorder was an annoying instrument, but no. The tenor recorder sounds very soothing and mellow. I love it so much, I might actually get one.
«Recorder is an obsolete ancient instrument» - «How do you like my new 3d-printed Paetzold?» It looks to me like a demonstration of archeological find. (But from present, not from past!) You know, how an archaeologist finds a sherd and says: it comes from such a place, it was created at such a time. How does he know? It's just a clay! What can be recognized in ceramics? A pot like a pot! A recorder like a recorder. Yet clearly a 21st century model.
recorders aren't ancient by any standard, it's origins are only a couple musical eras before that of the Violin, and the classic look of the recorder is from around the same era as when recognisable violins come around to my knowledge
@@xander1052 that is actually not true, because one of the first recorders is ~35 000 years old. They were made of bird bones and Blaubeuren in Germany is one of the places where such an ancient instrument was found
The audible frustration at 6:40 was honestly so relatable. I'm not a professional (just a guitar/keyboard player trying my hand at recorder and ocarina) but I have many a time let out a frustrated "ah" between notes during practice. It's good to know that even super talented and skilled professionals sometimes do the same. Love this video and this channel.
Love the stocatta sounds. Also enjoyed your singing along with the recorder voice, like Ian Anderson. Surprised there's no strap, but it must be quite light.
Larbitos O_o I’m not a native English speaker lol in Portuguese “uhhhh” is how we’d write this sound lol (but thanks I edited it so it’d make more sense)
I think they need to redesign the roler keys. Bassoon have roller keys that you can go both ways. But going back and forth is rally why clarinets have have the "pinky" keys for both hands as you can go between the keys on the left and right pinky. Bassoons do this with the right thumb, and right pinky some what.
Just got one after seeing your review. Love it. It needs getting used to but for some of the music I play it's perfect. Goodcalrernative to a flute. As an asthmatic I'm finding I tend to run out of air more than with my comfortbtenor or low whistle but as I'm losing stretch in my hand the keys make it easy to play. Top B & C I'm finding problematic. You really need to focus your breath. Great tone that will fit well with groups that include standard orchestral instruments.
Thanks a lot for the review! I have a very old Helder tenor that needs replacing, and since I share your love of the Paetzold basses I might need to try this tenor 😀
I love my solo tenor ... because of the size, I wish I could use that as my class recorder rather than sopranos for the students. It would be great to lower that sound an octave, plus take out most of the issues of covering holes. But alas, the price makes that impossible. Anyways, had mine out today and planning to make a video next week of a 7 part a cappella piece with the tenor and my solo contrabass because lockdown and why not?
As a former violist, the number of things you play that I played on viola is astounding! Just got myself the Aulos Haka soprano and alto to do some recordings of arrangements and a symphonic tenor from aulos... a £9k professional concert flute (used, goes for more new), a decent intermediate piccolo, and reeeeeeeeally cheap alto and bass flutes... hoping I can make those cheap harmony flutes work for recording.... But anyway, I just arranged the sound of silence for flute and recorder choir based on the Pentatonix version of it...will find out next week whether I can make it work! :)
I have stuggled with my Yamaha tenor for yrs trying to stretch to get to the notes even with bent neck and levers on some of my keys so as soon as I saw this video I rushed out to buy this Paezold. As it is a very different shape and key/hole sizes I found my right hand tensing and kept remembering the Sarah hand position utube video---- apple --not banana-- position which really helped- I have had to keep adjusting the thumb rest so as not to have my right hand in tense position as well but one nice thing is that you can rest it on your knee as there is no hole at the bottom. Some notes do take a bit more breath but not all and well worth the effort. I really am very happy I got this instrument.
There are small rolls in / on the keys. The leverage of the small keys cannot be balanced (can't be distributed) as well as on a larger sax. Can somebody please turn off the physics? ;-) Just for the moments while playing. ;-)
I play the contrabass Paetzold in F and love how easy it is to play. I often wondered what the tenor sounded like and imagined that it is really light.
I love it! I’ve lusted seriously after the Paetzold contrabass for years (I got to play one locally several years ago), but just haven’t been able to convince myself to drop the coin for one. Thanks for this.
Oh boy, smaller Paetzolds! I really like that they keep on using keys instead of holes, making them appear a little less forgiving to hold than normal recorders. Though I'd be lying to say that I know anything about their ergonomics. Wish I had one to try and check!
Great demonstration. I have tried one of these and really loved it. It would be even better if it could be made with a B-foot to add a semi-tone lower like some flute models: increases the repertoire for folk, jazz, modern music, etc.
I must say I am utterly positiv'ly surprised at these instruments, Sarah. I didn't expect that these instruments could produce such a full tone. Modern shapes don't imply tone deterioration, I see. Interesting instruments.
Oh, they make the bent-neck tenor!!! 💕I can't play most regular tenor recorders because my right wrist has to bend at such an unnatural and painful angle. My tenor is a Moeck Rottenburgh bent neck maple, with keys. The fact that I have some problems with a small percentage of altos that I've tried, makes it even more difficult to find a tenor that works for me. I would love to get one of these, but they do cost (I paid less than half for my tenor), and then there's shipping to the States, but I've always wanted a Paetzold instrument. The sound would work with some of the music I want to do.
It would be so cool if along with your review video you would put out oh well practiced complete music video using whatever you reviewing. As always I love you videos
I'm always watching your videos,here from Philippines...I love it keep making videos God bless Hoping someday I can have one of your bass and tenor recorder with your signature on it... thank you
I wish I could remotely afford something like these because I find keys and buttons more comfortable and intuitive to play with than finger holes, so I think I'd be much more motivated to improve my recorder playing if I had one like it. One day!
I would love to see how the solo range basses works 😍 My ensamble are talking about getting them but not sure when it’s huge recorders in plastic. /Alexandra
The Solo Tenors look like stealth technology. Considering how the saxophone has not changed much in eons, these recorders are revolutionary. If possible could you and your husband do a jazz duet Paetzold solo tenor vs tenor sax to see/hear the sounds?? Just a thought. Are there any new players of this tenor recorder to listen to?
I actually really like the look of this one, it doesnt look like IKEA furniture. Looks smart whilst still encompassing the heart of their instruments. Plus tenor is probably my favourite voicing on the recorder, but I have incredibly small hands so usually have to stop playing due to pain. I dread to see the price, but it is my birthday soon 😅
Go for it! You won't regret it. I bought one as I was having problems with my left hand, and couldn't manage a normal tenor. Having said that, it was something I'd wanted for a long time - even before it was invented 😉. Now everyone's posting themselves multi-tracking, perhaps I should give my matched 8 foot quartet an outing 😂.
Forgive my ignorance. Surely it’d make sense to get a regular tenor without noisy keys? Or are the noisy keys part of the attraction of this instrument? Hope this makes sense Tom
I'm not a fan of Paetzolds, but I have older friends who love them for the reasons you've given. I have to admit that their great basses sound amazing, but the noise of the keys is a distraction.
We have completely revised the flaps in the last years completly. If we can get pictures of the friend's instruments, we can say what we can do to make the keys quieter too. There are some tricks.
My eight year old daughter and I started learning to play the recorder in March. I have played the piano for decades, but had never played the recorder before. I bought a couple of YRS-24Bs. We are having a blast. My daughter loves it, and is progressing rapidly. We both enjoy watching your videos. Here's my question. I have developed what I think is a bad habit. I play 'pinched' notes by pushing the edge of my thumbnail into the back hole. In the beginning, it didn't get in my way, other than the fact that I am carving a groove into the plastic on each side of the thumb hole. But, now that I am trying to play faster (Irish Washerwoman is an example) the motion required to use that technique really slows me down and interferes in several ways. My daughter (fortunately) never developed this habit, and she lets air out of the thumb hole by rolling her thumb slightly. Guessing that I need to unlearn this 'technique' I have begun the difficult work of re-learning. Sarah? Am I correct in my thinking? Just one word from you would really give me the determination I need.
I'm not Sarah, but I do play the recorder a lot. The good news (as far as I am concerned) is that both of the thumbing techniques you mention are recognized as useful and appropriate on occasion. Which one you use depends to some extent on how your particular recorder responds, especially to very high notes, and on the speed of the music. It is true that nail-thumbing does wear away the side of the thumb hole eventually. Many players get their thumb hole bushed for that reason, traditionally with ivory but these days with a similar looking synthetic material. I'm talking here about wooden recorders, of course.
Sarah, how do these Paetzold Tenors handle third octave notes? Is there an extra key? Is it possible to cover the bell hole? If not, how do the stratospheric notes sound, at least, those that can be played without covering the end of the instrument? Do the keys allow you to leak air for notes like high F#?
I own a yamaha plastic Alto recorder, a yamaha plastic sopranino, and a soprano in plastic from the fifth grade. I will upgrade that after I get a tenor and garklein recorder. I want a Bass but Right now I dont have a job or anyway to get money so that will have to wait.
Thank you for showing off this new instrument. Can we ever have enough recorders? I'm wondering if the low D# has its own hole or is a 1/2 hole of the D. The former, of course, would give a much stronger, more stable note. I can't tell by looking at your video or the stock pictures from Kunath. Also, are the shafts for the key hinges drilled through the keys or routed? The original Paetzold recorders had the shafts holes drilled through the keys while the newer Kunath are routed, which renders the keys more fragile. I was disappointed when our group received the Kunath subcontra and found there is no low F#. Still, the only game in town. When will they start producing a=415 instruments? There are a paucity of great bass and contrabass in a=415, which makes it difficult to play many baroque compositions at 415 with a basso continuo part without a gamba or harpsichord player, i.e. Telemann Methodical Sonatas and many others. Your videos are very enjoyable. Thank you.
How would you describe the breathy-ness of this recorder compared to a good baroque-style instrument? Sometimes during your demo it seems that I'm hearing more "fizz" than I'd like, but it's hard to tell if that's really a characteristic of the instrument or if the effect is just being exaggerated by some aspect of the recording. I'm having more trouble with the right hand stretch on my baroque tenor than I used to, so this instrument is really interesting to me.
hello sarah and all who read this. Is there a place where I can see the song notes for recorders such as sites or books? tq ... I'm interested in learning this
i dont know if you have but i'd love to see you play some of inti illimani songs like dolencias from the album inti illimani 3 Canto De Pueblos Andinos - some really beautiful songs on there :D
Hi, the material is RESONA. It's developed by ourself. It is made from raw materials that are obtained from plants. An YES it is used in the SOLO series. The MASTER series is still made out of plywood. And the new Sub-Subgreatbass, we are working on (4,80m sounding length) is also 3D-printed out of RESONA. The instrument will be presented in the next weeks.
@@Kunath Ah so this is what you are doing instead of printing the recorders that everyone is waiting for. ;-) I am imagining a big snake of a recorder. But how big will your hands need to be to use the key at the back...? maybe you can move it to the side?
"Something that people sometimes struggle with is the clicking of the keys..." You should ask your saxophone playing significant other if he would be bothered with that amount of clicking. In particular some models like older Yanagisawas are infamous for very clicky keys when they haven't been serviced in a while and you could almost play an entire tune on it without blowing.
Such a fascinating recorder with its range of effects and sounds, and keys that remind me of the flute's mechanisms. I only wish it cost a bit less, here in Australia it would be at least A$1550 including shipping and insurance. I wonder why, being 3D printed mostly, that it would still have such a price tag? I have similar questions about the garklein.
Q:1 Can you make a video about the basic of alto recorder???? Q:2 can i use alto recorder in right hand and how???? And i wish to answer to my questions
Are they able to 3D print a one handed recorder similar to what Dolmetsch makes? I would imagine that a 3D printed version may make them much more accessible from a financial point of view especially for those that are not established, accomplished recorder players that have lost the use of hand but just want to learn to play.
Sarah . . . I'm slowly (as in ssss .... low .... leeeee) being converted to recorder. I've been searching your channel in search of what you might have uploaded about tenor recorders and low whistles (I prefer deeper tones). I found maybe a couple which feature the tenor in some detail and a few which refer to whistles - but nothing that I can see which looks more closely at the low whistle. Any chance??? Stay well.
I'm not a recorder player but i really enjoy watching your video.

I'd like to listen to that.
Yes but it would have to be on the sub great bass to reach the c
Sarah with her eyes sparkling out of joy for the pleasure of trying two new instruments 😁
As for me I'm reminded of the adage: "careful what you wish for...".
I've commented in the past about my problems in covering the holes, about how difficult it is for me especially in the two/four lower holes.

I think they are improving construction methods all the time as my replacement key is clearly stronger. I still find the top notes difficult on both the tenor and GB - you played them so beautifully!
The allen key is to tighten the screw on the thumbrest!!! You will need it once the thumbrest gets loose. Yes it (the hole) is invisible! ;-)
Seems thought for contemporary music, the percussive key effects really sound great.
I now want to relearn recorder purely because these look so cool!
I've had my tenor since it first came out and agree with everything you say, Sarah, especially about the streams of air for high and low notes.

Sarah im in love with your videos but please test a 12 hole Ocarina AC Could be interesting.
My eight year old daughter and I started learning to play the recorder in March. I have played the piano for decades, but had never played the recorder before. I bought a couple of YRS-24Bs. We are having a blast. My daughter loves it, and is progressing rapidly. We both enjoy watching your videos. Here's my question. I have developed what I think is a bad habit. I play 'pinched' notes by pushing the edge of my thumbnail into the back hole. In the beginning, it didn't get in my way, other than the fact that I am carving a groove into the plastic on each side of the thumb hole. But, now that I am trying to play faster (Irish Washerwoman is an example) the motion required to use that technique really slows me down and interferes in several ways. My daughter (fortunately) never developed this habit, and she lets air out of the thumb hole by rolling her thumb slightly. Guessing that I need to unlearn this 'technique' I have begun the difficult work of re-learning. Sarah? Am I correct in my thinking? Just one word from you would really give me the determination I need.
I'm not Sarah, but I do play the recorder a lot. The good news (as far as I am concerned) is that both of the thumbing techniques you mention are recognized as useful and appropriate on occasion. Which one you use depends to some extent on how your particular recorder responds, especially to very high notes, and on the speed of the music. It is true that nail-thumbing does wear away the side of the thumb hole eventually. Many players get their thumb hole bushed for that reason, traditionally with ivory but these days with a similar looking synthetic material. I'm talking here about wooden recorders, of course.
Sarah, how do these Paetzold Tenors handle third octave notes? Is there an extra key? Is it possible to cover the bell hole? If not, how do the stratospheric notes sound, at least, those that can be played without covering the end of the instrument? Do the keys allow you to leak air for notes like high F#?
love your vids
Thank you Sarah ! What about the prize ?
I own a yamaha plastic Alto recorder, a yamaha plastic sopranino, and a soprano in plastic from the fifth grade. I will upgrade that after I get a tenor and garklein recorder. I want a Bass but Right now I dont have a job or anyway to get money so that will have to wait.
I think that is interesting-I want
Thank you for showing off this new instrument. Can we ever have enough recorders? I'm wondering if the low D# has its own hole or is a 1/2 hole of the D. The former, of course, would give a much stronger, more stable note. I can't tell by looking at your video or the stock pictures from Kunath. Also, are the shafts for the key hinges drilled through the keys or routed? The original Paetzold recorders had the shafts holes drilled through the keys while the newer Kunath are routed, which renders the keys more fragile. I was disappointed when our group received the Kunath subcontra and found there is no low F#. Still, the only game in town. When will they start producing a=415 instruments? There are a paucity of great bass and contrabass in a=415, which makes it difficult to play many baroque compositions at 415 with a basso continuo part without a gamba or harpsichord player, i.e. Telemann Methodical Sonatas and many others. Your videos are very enjoyable. Thank you.
Can you do a video with every note on recorders including naturals and maybe microtones
Sounds beautiful when will it be available for the market to buy soon
They are available
You should try a triple ocarina .
What is the price they sound great
i want one❤
How would you describe the breathy-ness of this recorder compared to a good baroque-style instrument? Sometimes during your demo it seems that I'm hearing more "fizz" than I'd like, but it's hard to tell if that's really a characteristic of the instrument or if the effect is just being exaggerated by some aspect of the recording. I'm having more trouble with the right hand stretch on my baroque tenor than I used to, so this instrument is really interesting to me.
hello sarah and all who read this. Is there a place where I can see the song notes for recorders such as sites or books? tq ... I'm interested in learning this
i dont know if you have but i'd love to see you play some of inti illimani songs like dolencias from the album inti illimani 3 Canto De Pueblos Andinos - some really beautiful songs on there :D
I JUST LOOKED AT THE WEBSITE AND GOOD LORD THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE
Sarah, I'm colorblind... can I still hear the diference on the sound colours?
lol
hey Sarah, do you already know the brasilian music called as "bum bum tan tan" ? I think you will like the beginning, its funny =)
Great video! Are all Paetzold ABS recorders 3D printed or is this a new developement?
Zijde Zacht only the solo paetzold recorders. I think they have experimented with some baroque models also, but I’m not sure if they are available yet
@@claytonduggan Thanks. So it comes down to patience; not my best... ;)
Hi, the material is RESONA. It's developed by ourself. It is made from raw materials that are obtained from plants. An YES it is used in the SOLO series. The MASTER series is still made out of plywood. And the new Sub-Subgreatbass, we are working on (4,80m sounding length) is also 3D-printed out of RESONA. The instrument will be presented in the next weeks.
@@Kunath Ah so this is what you are doing instead of printing the recorders that everyone is waiting for. ;-) I am imagining a big snake of a recorder. But how big will your hands need to be to use the key at the back...? maybe you can move it to the side?
That cracked low note at the end sounds a bit like a Shakuhachi.
They look so coooooool !!
"Something that people sometimes struggle with is the clicking of the keys..."
You should ask your saxophone playing significant other if he would be bothered with that amount of clicking. In particular some models like older Yanagisawas are infamous for very clicky keys when they haven't been serviced in a while and you could almost play an entire tune on it without blowing.
You did not say which recorder you liked❔
Wait a minute! Did you play two voices in that recorder ? 🤯🤓
If you mean “O Virgo Splendens”, then Sarah is singing while playing if I’m not mistaken! Hence the two voices
@@hvadhvem6138 true
The "click" sound the keys make would totally freak me out 😅
Maravilhoso
You comment that the Robot Leg has a different character than a Baroque instrument. You should do a video exploring that difference.
Such a fascinating recorder with its range of effects and sounds, and keys that remind me of the flute's mechanisms. I only wish it cost a bit less, here in Australia it would be at least A$1550 including shipping and insurance. I wonder why, being 3D printed mostly, that it would still have such a price tag? I have similar questions about the garklein.
I'm guessing development costs have to be covered. Just wait say 50 years, and it will probably be a lot cheaper.
From where you buy this 3d model
Q:1 Can you make a video about the basic of alto recorder????
Q:2 can i use alto recorder in right hand and how????
And i wish to answer to my questions
Are they able to 3D print a one handed recorder similar to what Dolmetsch makes? I would imagine that a 3D printed version may make them much more accessible from a financial point of view especially for those that are not established, accomplished recorder players that have lost the use of hand but just want to learn to play.
We are working on those things. :-)
Sarah . . . I'm slowly (as in ssss .... low .... leeeee) being converted to recorder. I've been searching your channel in search of what you might have uploaded about tenor recorders and low whistles (I prefer deeper tones). I found maybe a couple which feature the tenor in some detail and a few which refer to whistles - but nothing that I can see which looks more closely at the low whistle. Any chance???
Stay well.
That’s a great idea! Low whistle video on the list
Sarah could you play "le chant du vent" in your recorder?
Are there any virtuosics pieces for the tenor recorder??
The link to Kunath isn't working.
