Sarah, you just conclusively proved my theory that a professional playing a stick with a couple holes drilled in it will sound better than an amateur like me on a very expensive wooden recorder.
First recorder I had was so badly built that it would pop up an octave with just a tiny amount of extra pressure, making it really terrible and shrill. I quit for years until a girlfriend convinced me to try a much *better* cheap plastic recorder. It was a huge improvement.
So, while, it certainly *is* mostly the artist, there is also a floor for how bad the instrument can be.
So much of your tone comes from you. See that as a good thing. You won't sound like anyone else and you can make your sound unique. Playing a woodwind is very much like singing, except you don't engage your vocal cords. You engage everything else though and your mouth, tongue, and throat all shape the sound just like your natural voice.
I hear ya David :-(
@@nateschultz8973 my $5 third grade yamaha plastic one is still sitting in my bedroom somewhere
Last time I tried it, I tried using as much air as I do on clarinet
Which was a mistake
It popped up an octave or two
Me just lightly breathing out is enough to pop it up an octave
I have no interest in recorders. I havent looked up "recorder" on my phone ever, I havent sspoken the word "recorder" in years, and I rarely ever though of them since 3rd grade. Then on this day, 12-30-19, I was reccomend this video. Subscribed.
haha
Well i thought i would never say it again but then I decided to type Recorder im a 4th Grader but i did i for a video ;-;
get on my level skrub
Some of us wished we could never hear that word again...
... until now!
:-)
It`s the Power of Bass.
Me never playing recorder
Me listening to This.:
Oh that is a bit airy
Idk why but reading that as Mary from the Great British Bake-off is the best way of reading that.
Hello Sarah, I am a Hobby Recorder player from China. Thank you sooooo much for this vedio. The Manufactur of the Alto wood Recorder from China you just played in this vedio has made my first recorder of my childhood.
I love this Recorder also because the factory which made it helps a lot of people and children in China to lernen Musik. And I am one of them.
I would like to send this vedio to the man who has made this Recorder, and he must apreciate your opinions about his product and made better recorders for us.
❤
It's crazy how there are more songs than just hot cross buns
Yep, there is London's Burning too!
Hehe. What blows my mind is you can very much play a soprano recorder like a D penny whistle. Even the fingerings work, and yet the whistle is diatonic and can't easily play every note, but the recorder can. Because the recorder is chromatic, there is literally nothing you can't play on it.
I had no idea that freaking Bach wrote for it
@@Subparanon Some cultures have music that leaves the chromatic scale, too. Classically derived pieces are safe, though, and that's most of western tradition.
Smurfジ I love and hate this comment at the same time. 😂
As a clarinet player, I find it so hard to play the recorder - you have to blow so so lightly into the mouthpiece!
Me too! #clarinetgang
Maddie Jones you must have awful air control on a clarinet if you cant blow lightly into a recorder
I literally passed out playing because I wasn't getting enough air out. Team clarinet!!
@@HugeChad69 She didn't say she couldn't. Playing a recorder when you're used to playing a clarinet is quite an embouchure and airstream change. You have to use quite a bit of air while playing clarinet compared to playing recorder, even when playing softly.
You barely even have to breathe into a recorder to make a sound, but breathing into a clarinet wouldn't make a sound at all lmao
trumpets are hard lmao, even tho clarinets and trumpets have the same notes.
The most important thing to remember is that though they ARE cheap, it means that even the poorest can get hold of an instrument to practice on. Which with the children i work with is something I have to factor in. After all, VERY sadly, if its a choice between food or a recorder a parent has no choice. Interesting video, thank you for taking the time to test them.
This is a very good point. Sometimes any cheap instrument is a good start. I started my piano studies with very old, used electric organ. The sound was horrible, and I have no idea where my parents found it. But I'm super grateful they did. I know they were on a tight budget back then. And now I'm 36 and I still play piano almost every day. Love for music can start with cheap instruments, and it can last for a life time.
I'm not comparing a recorder with a piano, of course. They are in a very different price range.
Sure there are decent instruments for beginners if they can't afford higher quality. The problem with buying from Wish is the fact you NEVER know if price paid is equal to the quality as it's a platform widely used by bad businesses using stolen photos and then making cheap copies of what's displayed, probably almost always done with slave work (working long shifts for virtually nothing)... And on top of that Wish advertises those bad businesses openly. Once I got a Wish add showing me a copy of a dress I happen to have - although I bought it from the legit UK business. I find it utterly disgusting that anybody has the audacity to advertise me such disgusting businesses. And I'm pretty sure the copies of that dress are sewn in blood and tears. Never bought anything from Wish and never will, after seeing that.
And yes, I know, other seller platforms has plenty of similar scam sellers too. But they don't advertise me to my face, at least + there are lots of legit businesses too on those platforms (you just have to be able to recognize the good ones). I wonder if there's any legit business not using slave labour selling on Wish.
@@ziraiah I got myself an 1980s keyboard from ebay for 12 € and it’s not bad. Limited range and synthetic sound, but not bad.
Only if you ever want to go for real instruments, get one in “standard” key size (width). It’s important to build up muscle memory for that. Wish I had known that at 14 instead of looking at the keys instead of the notes…
Also, dynamics from pressure, but I learnt on an electric organ which lacked that as well (it had a foot pedal for dynamics) so that’s not as important. Harpsichords don’t have dynamics either. Little finger needs some work to build up to play on real pianos, but that’s that.
The thing is, even the basic Yamaha sopranos can be had for under $10 (I'm seeing in the $4-8 range) which are possibly better and less than expensive than half of these.
3:20 "tHiS iS nOt A cLaRiNeT" - every oboe player, always
Steph Michaud huh
Huh huh huh huh I don’t understand u
LOL! Clearly an oboe is NOT a clarinet... However there are some similarities. (Clarinet player who has played some oboe.)
Who is like ‘OOOHHH that’s what it’s supposed to sound like!’ Cuz in primary I sounded like a dying rat
This is the part of the internet that I love being in. Kind, and wholesome!
But you know in your heart you Google up the dark side after midnight😈😈😈😈😈
I'd be interested in seeing a video about the history of the recorder and why it declined in popularity into the classical era!
One reason the countenance of venerable recorder has fallen in popularity is that it has been relegated to the status of not being a “real instrument,” and only something to entertain little children to the tunes of, for example, “Mary had a Little Lamb” and “Hot Cross Buns.” When was the last time you saw a recorder in a school band or orchestra? I would guess never. 😢
@@christophertsiliacos8958 This has nothing to do with "why it declined in popularity into the classical era".
@@NextGenerationKloud Maybe it has nothing to do with the "classical era," 😲 but why it may have declined into the 21st century. 😉 ♫
Maybe it has something to do with giving it to fourth graders.
@@lulah3463 That is not a factor in it declining in popularity going into the classical era.
I very recently started learning the recorder and I bought the Eastar one you tested, before I saw this video. I got it on Amazon for $23.99 USD plus free prime shipping. I got this one because a) we’re still dealing with covid-19 and music stores aren’t open-thus Amazon. b) it was in my price range. If/when I progress to a proficient level, I’ll invest in a mid-range priced recorder. c) It got very good reviews on Amazon from both beginners and accomplished players. d) I really wanted wood, not plastic.
Though it’s only been a few days, so far I’m quite pleased with it. And now I’m doubly pleased that Sarah liked it too!!
Many of these are Chinese school recorder brands, they sell much cheaper in China. For a starting and school music lessons, I have to say they are great for bringing interest and verity for many Chinese kids. Yamaha and Aulos and many German recorders selling double or triple price in China than in Europe. So the students can buy a better recorder if they are much sure they want to continue learning recorders.
As a kid with no basic knowledge of playing the recorder, the cleaning rod was the fun part.
The first one kinda sound like a tin/penny/Irish whistle.
Yes
You actually have one of my recorders!!! I have the wooden soprano! I bought it because it was $28 (USA) and I love it!!! It sounds so much better than the Yamaha plastic recorders that I bought for a couple dollars.
Which brand is that? She was going a bit fast for me to keep up.
Ellen Thomasson it’s the earstar Baroque Maple Wood
Ellen Thomasson sorry the Eastar*
I love how you can give a 20 cent worth piece of ... a "recorder" to a pro and she makes it somehow sound lovely. 🥰
@Sarah Jeffery, you are so expressive, that I really enjoyed watching the entire video, without even noticing the time pass by! Thank you!
I'm 40 today, and was watching this video last night. By coincidence, my husband has bought me an Eastar sop to try (I'm an oboist with a big collection of good plastic recorders and this is my first wooden!), and honestly, I love it. It's in tune, it's a nice even sound, and I can push the sound hard. I'm very tempted by the alto now.
Yo tengo la flauta marca "Qi Mei Alto que examinó Sarah a partir de 8:26, le puedo decir que es very nice.
I live in Australia, and Eastar is sold here, too. Recently I decided to re-teach myself how to play recorder, and after extensive search online, I bought Yamaha descant which is most expensive among plastic ones. I decided Eastar wood recorder was rubbish just because it costs about half the one I bought, and those shops that seem to know much about recorder don't sell it. If I had watched this video and your comment on Eastar and other people's beforehand, I definitely had bought Eastar. Now I am thinking of buying an Eastar maple descant because it is so cheap that I can buy one after I spent my money on that expensive plastic.
That one euro recorder sounded like a tin whistle
My youngest had his “recorder year” in Primary School and they were all given a colourful plastic A Star soprano that as a bulk buy is under £2. I tried it and have to say was seriously impressed for the price. In tune, plays into the 3rd octave and a decent tone. By comparison, a handmade Terton is obviously far better, but not 650 times better.
That was fun! The wooden recorders do sound good for the price.
One time I bought a dollar store recorder for a short film score I was working on, and it just made some really interesting screamy sounds. It didn't produce a single "note", just screeches. It actually turned out kind of cool.
Nice to hear a professional assessment.
The €1 ”recorder” is a glorified straw
That's what a recorder is
Unfortunately, not even good for that. Too many holes.
Now you mention straws: ruclips.net/video/0_UEPpsCMCA/видео.html
This brings back memories. It's incredible how much these plastic recorders can withstand. I remember tossing mine around and throwing it against the wall just for fun. We forcefully disassembled them, and yeah, that plastic thingy in the moutpiece did come out. Good old times.
As a recorder player I feel so related to this video and this experience. It's been educational, hilarious and fun. Thanks, great job!
This makes me appreciate my Aulos and Yamaha recorders so much more. (and they weren't that much more expensive). Thank you.
I recently bought the wooden alto from this video and I absolutely love it. It’s a great next step from my aulos Haka. The Eastar soprano was my first real recorder. I bought it when I needed to learn to play recorder because I was teaching general music in Europe. It was a great first choice, and this is also when I started following your channel to learn to play, and fell in love with the instrument.
I don't even play the recorder, but for some reason I've subscribed and have been binge watching all of your videos.
I love that you were carefully checking the quality (during the ordering process) by looking at the photos.
Wish is NOTORIOUS for having only a slight connection between the photos you see ...
... and what you actually receive.
On a completely separate note, your spontaneous and natural style of speaking in the video is superb!
You make it look easy - I know from far-too-many other RUclips presenters that speaking naturally is hard
The QiMei (Chee-May) recorder is a Chinese recorder. It comes in both English and German fingering. It's not the worst recorder out there, but I do have to admit that I have recently upgraded to a Kung (which is WAAAAY nicer!). For the price, and the fact that it got me back into music playing at all, it was worth it. I have both the soprano and the alto in wood. Like all wooden recorders, they play much better once they've been played in, and get a full 2 octaves with relative ease - but you do have to play them in!
I would have to agree with your comment about the roughness on the inside, and the slightly muffled / soft tone. It wasn't something I noticed until I got the Kung, and saw / heard the difference. If someone was to ask me for a cheap but reasonable wooden option for a beginner recorder, I would have to say, the QiMei is not a bad option.
QiMei also make a range of plastic recorders from sopranino to Basset, in both German and English fingerings. I did buy the set (it cost around 800 yuan - I'm not sure what that would be in Euros, but it's not expensive), but they were horrible. they sounded out of tune, even to my inexperienced ear, and they were breathy, didn't play above the second B (D) with any degree of consistency, and the key work on the larger recorders was horrendous. The mechanisms didn't work easily, they didn't close properly... just.... horrible. I gave them away in the end, to a friend who wanted them more for arty reasons than actual playing reasons.
Oh, and I should also mention, here in China, recorders get translated as clarinets, recorders, flutes, vertical flutes, and so on, and are lumped into a category with anything that is vaguely recorder shaped, so the listings often get wooden Irish flutes, tin whistles, kazoos, wind pipes, saxophones, you name it, mixed in with the recorders!!
My son started trumpet this year at school. With covid-19, he has online classes which is not great for starting to learn an instrument. To help him with practicing, I told him I would learn an instrument with him. I chose the recorder and found you, yay! I ordered an Eastrock (amazon @$23.) that looks like the Eastar. It seems nice for a beginner.
My sister came home from school with a recorder, so my dad left home and we never saw him again.
Did he mention milk?
@@zoeelizabeth2167 No it was bread he went for.
@@spinaway ohhhh...did you have bread at the time? Did you ever get the bread?
@@zoeelizabeth2167 No we had no bread and we are still waiting lol.
@@spinaway sometimes that happens. Try putting it in rice.
I am a Brazilian recorder player student and this year I had the opportunity to buy an Easter recorder in Vancouver, Canada during my vacation. My teacher tested the sound and said that this recorder looks good.
10:48 the reaction that made my day.🤣🤣🤣
I only thought that recorders were all kids toys like the one we all played in the Elementary School Music class 😂
But ever since I came over from the Davie504 channel, I'm sure learning a lot!!
I remember in school for music class we all got recorders. I had already been playing the clarinet for a while at a #3 reed. Someone told me the recorder was basically the same thing. They let us bring our flutes, saxes, and clarinets in and practice separate from the class.

Thanks to TwoSetViolin I'm sitting here listening to your videos without a clue about recorders. RUclips what are you doing to me ;)
I had Aulos recorders as a child. My first two recorders when I was 7, an Aulos 300 series soprano and alto. I gave them to my brother, now I have an 500's series alto and soprano from Aulos, a pearwood Fehr from the early 80's, (I bought it used when I was 16), and a handmade boxwood Dolmetsch bressan alto which my newest recorder I bought when I got my first job as a system administrator in 2007. That instrument is now my best friend. It saved me even from love depression several times. Interesting, that the Aulos alto and the Dolmetsch plays very well, but the higher Dis note, and the third register is very hard to play on my pearwood instrument, which I loved because its warm sound. Sometimes I play it, and I know why was it soo difficult to play the Telemann fantasias when I was 16...
This was amazing to see this morning. You delight!
I’m an oboist and with that comes intense amounts of air. One day my brother came home with a recorder and I tried it out. Oh my gosh I’m so used to blowing so much air that it felt so intense. Truly shocking
I'd try the tenor. In the same octave and in my experience as a flautist is much easier to control.
Yes, there are differences, but you actually make most of them sound really good.
That blue 1.90 euro one sounds a little like my first bamboo flute I made. Which is very surprising. I like it! :D Also that wooden alto sounds amazing for it's price! Maybe I will need to try my luck with it! Thank you, awesome video, as always!
To my ears every single recorder you played sounded fantastic in your hands. I subscribed immediately, in hopes that I can learn to make my tenor recorder sound at least a quarter as good.
So thoroughly enjoyed the video, great idea! Loved how it was done and how positive you are with all the recorders - even finding new ways to use them 🤣👍
i didn’t know there were good and bad recorders..
There are plenty of good recorders and plenty of bad ones. Just like buying a car or anything else 🙈🙉🙊
Netflix: Are you still watching?
Someone's daughter: 14:12
This video was very helpful. You really can find some nice gems amung the unexpected. One of my favourite plastic recorders was actually my mother's when she was a student that cost a few dollars almost 50 years ago. For roughly the same price, a student of mine purchased a recorder that couldn't carry a tune whatsoever
I always enjoy your instrument reviews Sarah! Would love to see some more of quality, wooden recorders that don't break the bank. Happy Christmas!
Thank you for the lessons and evaluations I have been a guitarist for many years and now have been learning something knew and am taking my lessons from you. :)
Discovered your channel after promising that I would learn to play a tune on a recorder for my grand-daughter! I must say, you and your channel are a complete delight and my surprise find of the year. Thank you so much. I hope you inspire many.
Thank you! ❤️
Just loved the vibe of your videos. So pleasant to listen to. Keep recording!
Your voice is friendly and uplifting. Your recorder playing is warm and soothing.
I am binge-watching your videos as my Dad is currently in the hospital, for the second time in a couple of weeks.
This after having been through a terrible year long depression after Mom's passing.
And I have been cyber bullied for a few months too.
You are doing more than I can describe to keep some peace and sanity in my life.
God bless.
Sending you warm wishes and hugs, and hoping this are better for you soon xxxxx
@@Team_Recorder Aww, thank you so much! I could just tell that you have a warm heart. Sending you a hug right back. :)
On the other hand I bought a Mollenhauer Dream recorder second hand off ebay - it was totally out of tune, about a semitone flat. Ten minutes on my lathe and it's a really nice instrument.
This video changed my opinion on recorders. Subscribed!!!
6:36 - All us German boys just went :(
Glad that I chose at least semi-well! Got recommended to this channel for some reason a few months ago and it ended up making me want to take a crack at learning the recorder (always a sucker for smaller-ish instruments that can reliably be used for spontaneous fun) and ended up buying that exact Eastar soprano recorder! It's been going strong so far, though I'm probably unknowingly abusing it to heck and back by not knowing proper maintenance and storage, but it's fun and getting me through method books!
a thoroughly enjoyable 18 minutes, thank you
Sarah I haven't played Recorder in decades. Yes, I am really that old hahaha! This is just the second video of yours I have watched and you make me smile. Your positivity is infectiious. Liked and subscribed with bell thingy notifications turned on. I have fond memories of learning to play the Recorder at school. Some will groan at me saying this, but I really did love it! I very well might take it back up thanks to your Channel. I won't be buying from Wish though ;) And I have to say from the start, I play a string instrument. Those finger covers are not good. Enduring the pain and developing callouses is the way to go!
Amazing video Sarah, you are my favorite wooden clarinet player.
I just watched a frickin' 18 minute video about recorders.
CountDoucheula same bro
Yo también y no se inglés.
Yeah, and you should watch more.
Yes, and you enjoyed it, didn't you? lol
... and it was worth it!
Which one is your best recorder in all of your recorders? Not just the wish ones
“This is not a clarinet!”
ROTFL ❤️
This makes me want to play recorder again! I’ve only tried it when I was younger but I already lost my plastic recorder. After quarantine I might get new one 😭😭😭 it looks so much fun!
It's interesting that these recorders actually produce quite a nice sound, because I can tell you that if you bought the violin that we saw when she first got on to the website, there would either be no sound at all or it would sound awful.
I bought the Eastar recorder before I found your channel. It's my first recorder. I bought it because I wanted something cheaper because I'm poor, but I also like using sustainable materials like wood.
I'm having fun learning on it. :)
Having a range of plastic descants I bought the Eastar on a whim and, like you, was pleasantly surprised. I liked the woody slightly breathy tone (although you can get other colours, too) and I liked the comparatively chunky hand/mouth feel. Here comes the but! I found it played consistently slightly flat (A=about 437). So, with only £20 at stake, I put it on the lathe and took a shave off the middle joint, cleaned up the (straight) windway, which was presented very rough as you found then oiled the bore. The wood was very thirsty. And wow, what a difference now! I've tried it against a Mock Rottenburgh in pearwood and for most of the range you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. We did a blind test with a group of discerning players and it held its own. The very top and bottom is maybe where the difference shows and you certainly have a wider range of tone colours on the Moeck. But for the £22 I paid I think I got more than 75%+ of a Moeck! (I did remove the Eastar printed label, though because I reckon I put a lot of the work in myself!)
You make me want to go back to elementary school and play recorder again
Its so cute, how you always try to find a good thing about any of them😊
I actually purchased that Eastar one on a whim several months ago, just because I wanted to see if it even sounded good, and it was so cheap for a wooden recorder. I will agree. I was pleasantly surprised. I did find the mouthpiece a bit rough and unfinished on the inside, too, and I had a harder time playing the high notes without them sounding bad, which doesn't happen with my better soprano recorders. I think, for a bit more money, I would still go for the Mollenhauer Dream recorders with the plastic head, or a Yamaha Ecodear. But this is a decent budget wooden recorder, and I wonder if carefully sanding out the rough surfaces would make a difference.
I wondered if the inside could be carefully sanded, too. It was surprisingly nice - but what do I know, I still like my old cheap Gill soprano!
@@ellenthomasson5883 Actually, I own a vintage Gill that I found at an antique store several years ago for a few bucks. It looks nearly new, and came with the original fake leather pouch. Not sure how old, but on the back, it says it was made in Germany Democratic Republic, which existed for a period of about 40 years. I would say it plays a bit better than the Eastar (nicer in the high range), but the body is also heavily varnished and impervious to moisture.
Do you really think you prefer the Ecodear's tone to the Maple? I own an Ecodear Alto but it still gives off a very plastic-like ring in some registers. I was looking into the Eastar or maybe the wooden Alto in this video for a different tone color.
@@AndromedaCripps If I were to compare the Ecodear to the Eastar, then, yes. I've not played the inexpensive alto featured in the video, so I can't speak for that one. I'm not liking the upper register with the Eastar when I play certain classical pieces, so I only play folk songs with it. Also, the Ecodear will (and does) hold up better in different climates. However, if you were willing to part with a bit more money, a Mollenhauer Denner, Moeck Rottenburgh or Kung Superio would be good choices.Those cost about a few hundred US dollars (a serious investment, I know), but I've managed to get my Denner used for $100, over 10 years ago, and I still like using it today. It's probably better to invest in a nicer instrument if you can, especially if you already play beyond a beginner level.
mynvision Yes, every time I look at purchasing a new instrument it always comes back to waiting until I have the funds to get the better instrument haha. I definitely enjoy the versatility/durability of the Ecodear, so I suppose it will do me well enough until I can finally get myself a more standard-level wooden recorder.
Could I ask, however, if you don't mind, where you found your used recorder? I've looked around for used instruments but I can never find any sort of quality recorder used.
At: 5.21: "...in one piece"
Easy to change instantly into 2 pieces. LOL
I'll be hunting down a copy of 33 Euro wooden Alto Recorder, its a good bargain for fun playing. Thanks for this :-)
I'm about to upgrade to a wooden recorder as I really don't like the sound of my Yamaha, and it's a very frustrating process if you don't have access to different instruments to try out. Trying to compare the sound and playability of different recorders online is next to impossible and deciding whether to dish out that extra couple of hundred is hard. And then this video comes along...
If you don't like the sound of your Yamaha it might be *you* not the Yamaha. Long tones, open your throat, get in plenty of time playing, and it's amazing how much "gutsier' that Yamaha might start to sound.
@@alexcarter8807 I'm pretty sure it's partly me, but I have an old basic model pearwood Hohner which manages to sound better ( to me at least). Unfortunately it is in German fingering and I tried to convert it to English... didn't work...
Check out Arwen Acoustic here on RUclips- she compares a wide variety of wooden recorders.
@@davidlinton2799Thanks, I 've seen a lot of her videos, they are a great help in deciding but she can only play so many models. She hasn't posted anything for a while, by the way.
As a tuba player, I love playing recorders , and you just got a new subscription! !!!
I love how do you play, it's amazing !!!!! And your voice is so relaxing :D
This was so much fun Sarah - thank you!
Oh, Sarah. I can't stop viewing this unbox video!!!!
Thanks for testing the Eastar I bought one to use as a prop in a play and then decided to learn more about playing the instrument which lead me to you. I bought the recorder on Amazon and paid less (cost was in USD and prime free shipping.
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting.
Lol I bet it's a real hoot watching you open your presents on Christmas morning!
People become kind of picky about what they listen to as they get older. First, they probably all soind better with you playing them than me. But it was fun to listen and you certainly showed some of the variety of music you can play which was a treat. Too bad so few recognize it as a real instrument.
"It doesn't sound anything like a recorder" - I have exactly that some one (the blue one) hahah!
Thank you for your dedication on this one. Wonderful unboxing, you must have patience!
Thanks for the video. I've actually considered the eastar but wanted to hear it first.
I used to play the flute... a long time ago. I ended up getting a recorder and started playing again so I could have an inexpensive instrument to play for my birds that I didn't have to worry about them damaging if they pooped on it or even nibbled a little (they aren't really strong enough to do damage, though!) I've been kind of impressed by how well I've been doing lately for someone who is just playing by ear and having fun... Now learning that there are nice wooden recorders and for that matter *alto* recorders, you're really making me want to take this little thing I picked up to entertain my birds in a whole new direction! :)
How did RUclips bring me here? Pretty girl, instrument mastery, bargain shopping? No idea, but I watched the entire video and enjoyed it.
"Testing recorders from WISH" ... It was at this point that Sarah's family decided that she had lost control of her life and that an intervention was necessary.
I don't even play recorder or anything but for whatever reason i'm always here. At one point i was even dissatisfied at not having a decent recorder in my sample libraries lmao
Fun to watch- thanks for sharing
Hmmm... and here I thought recorders were just those dumb things your music teacher made you buy in the eighth grade so he could teach you how to read music. Very cool!
Sarah: I can certainly find a use for this recorder …. a professional paint stirrer. Thanks, that was fun to watch ;-)
Thought the title said
“Tasting recorders from wish.”
I mean she kinda did
I would click so fast
@@loluhwhat5195 Same. Never mind rosin; recorders are the latest snack
Omg I read the same thing haha.
Technically an ocarina is a recorder as well. I would love to see Sarah try an ocarina.
I bursted into laughter when you break the light blue on at 05:12 and nearly spilled my tea......... 😂
I haven't played a recorder since school, so I have no idea why this was in my recommended. However, it inspired me to go find my old recorder, and surprisingly, I still know how to play it, well good thing I kept up with music because I'm a singer.
Nice video! To be frank, I wouldn't want any of those recorders, everything I already have sounds better. If I were to grade the recorders, I'd say that the wooden alto and the dark resin soprano sound best. The design of the wooden alto reminds me of those old Heinrich recorders that were made in the GDR. Very good instruments, and while they were made in both German and Baroque fingering, their sound was closer to that of a Renaissance recorder, which was considered desirable in the German post-1930 recorder movement. However, Heinrich made a few models of their "Meister" recorders, which were produced irregularly, as Baroque recorders, with rings, mounts and all.
"I don't rate it as an instrument" the burnnn LOL
You made even the shitty ones sound better then I could ever play a good recorder 😂 way to go!
Wow, thank you for doing this!
I remember when I had to learn to play recorder back in middle school. I actually enjoyed it and there was one week where I sat in my moms car for hours teaching myself how to play the song the Mr. Tumbness played to Lucy in the Chronicles of Narnia
