'All in A Garden Green' (Playford 1651) on a Mollenhauer Dream Edition Tenor Recorder in Plum

[@Oaktreealley]

Yay for Renaissance music! Love that tenor. I would love the whole series. Rip Adriana.

Its a wonderful feeling when you get to hear a song you haven't heard before! Thank you for that charming piece! ❤️🌹😉

[@scathatch]

lovely warm sound.

[@barthvapour]

Lovely, I play this sometimes and it sounds great to hear it on this beautiful tenor.

[@arwenacoustic795]

Thank you!

[@luckybarrel7829]

Wonderful recorder and sound! And also glad to see more light in your videos. Really ups the game!

[@arwenacoustic795]

Thank you. I got a new web cam which is a lot better. The mic in it didn't suit recorder though so had to get a separate mic.

[@margiewinslow872]

@@arwenacoustic795 can you recommend a mic?

[@arwenacoustic795]

@@margiewinslow872 I just got a cheap podcast one, as I am sitting near the mic, the cheap one isn't so sensitive and doesn't pic up the airy sounds rather than the music.

Beautiful playing!

[@arwenacoustic795]

Thank you Frank!

Thank you for this raw music❤

So wonderful to recreate the music Of 1651. A simpler time.

[@arwenacoustic795]

As the telephone banking man said to me, like was simpler when apples and blackberries were fruit.

Except for things like the plague and things like the english civil war and such

[@antoniooliveira1859]

So cute!

❤ Parabéns!!!!

Strange to see a 'larger' instrument playing 'higher not lower' notes?

[@arwenacoustic795]

It has over 2 octaves of notes, so let's use them :)

Posso usar a contralto para tocar soprano ? ​@@arwenacoustic795

[@margiewinslow872]

Love the airy sound and look of it compared to Denner and other baroque models. Is it more of a stretch for the fingers?

[@arwenacoustic795]

Hmmm I can't remember what the stretch on the Denner was like but compared to the Kung superio it is a little less stretch for left hand and a little more stretch for right hand, but the bigger stretch happens between fingers 4-5 so it doesn't feel too challenging to me and I can only get an octave on piano but I am fairly flexible in my hands through.

[@margiewinslow872]

Thank you!

[@jairandrade2765]

Tenho uma contralto, posso usar como soprano?

[@arwenacoustic795]

If contralto is the same as a tenor recorder, yes, you can play soprano recorder music on it.

[@daviddewilde3310]

Hey Arwen, What’s, in your opinion, the biggest difference between the Dream Edition, and the pearwood dream? Do you notice the extra attention the DE gets in manufacturing?

[@arwenacoustic795]

Hi David, sorry I haven't tried the pearwood dream!

I used to have a tenor recorder myself. To me, the tenor is the most unjustly underappreciated member of the recorder family.

[@arwenacoustic795]

To practice getting to low C, try playing low F first and then Low C

[@jairandrade2765]

Muito obrigado, vou praticar ☺️
