She's great and a joy to listen to, and the whole production team is top-notch with the photography, lighting, recording, and mastering. It all comes together amazingly well.

[@Novemben]

So happy you have posted this! Kate Clark is a wonderful musician and I love the way she communicates her enthusiasm for her instrument 💜

[@VoicesofMusic]

More to come!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I totally want to learn the baroque flute. I love Bach, Telemann, Mozart, etc and it's be so fun to play the pieces on a historically accurate instrument.

[@picksalot1]

Particularly beautiful sound from the Baroque Flute, and somehow very inviting and charming to my ears. Thanks for the demo and interesting information.

[@israelnoriega5981]

Kate Clark is best Traverso player I’ve ever heard! I would love to study with her!

[@jcortese3300]

I also love a conical flute -- I play just as an amateur who does it for myself, but I love them. Baroque and 19th century simple system both are so beautiful.

[@Muttonchop_USA]

Her speaking voice sounds like a Baroque flute. Lovely.

[@ccflute]

the baroque flute sounded lovely, but then... renaissance flute sounded just heavenly... might fall in love...

[@sammyfrenkel]

For Kate on renaissance flute, on this channel :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmHMeH2ibb9jmZY

[@davidherman29]

I ABSOLUTELY love love that baroque flute, please record more Bach....❤️❤️❤️

[@lakshnarang5293]

this video is so informative as she tells about the instrument with so much passion and love for it and ending the video with a piece of music is just like the icing on the cake.

[@jcgoobee]

baroque flute sounds so beautiful, like the music coming from heaven.

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I love the sound of the baroque flute

[@VoicesofMusic]

Agree!

[@atelier1975]

Lovely presentation, and choice of the 1034 to showcase - which were it not for the echo in the space might be the nicest performance of it I've heard.

[@percyvolnar8010]

Absolutely love Kate Clark !! I could listen to her talk and play ALL-DAY!

[@OriolePublishing]

Also felt in love instantly with your passion for the baroque flute and your baroque flute playing. Your treatment of the lovely baroque flute tone colour and the way you taper off the G to melt with reverberation of hall, simply exquisite

[@thpeti]

I love the enthusiasm of the Dutch musicians on baroque music, especially played on historic instruments. The reasons she told in the video why I stuck on the recorder, and why I resisted as a child to practice the clarinet. I practiced even the "sharpy" clarinet etudes on my recorder instead of that reed instrument. Baroque woodwinds are simple as possible, only a few holes (7 +1 thumb for the recorder), no Boehm-system keys, which I was alwasys messed with on the clarinet. I also can play the pieces she played for demonstration. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sound properly a flute, (I've tried it a few times) but I love the sound of the baroque one. The modern, Boehm-flute has a harsh, almost aggressive sound, which is good for the symphonic orchestra playing romantical or modern pieces, but I prefer that soft sound for baroque chamber music.

[@idraote]

short but sweet, this video conveyed much clear information in little time. Personally I've found the sound of the Renaissance flute particularly enchanting. I must research it more.

[@lessismore4470]

Thank you for the brilliant and helpful presentation.

[@VoicesofMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@lordmauriceortizlagartera162]

Great video!!! I'm also a flutist and started to research about the baroque flute and hopefully to play it soon, thank you for this video, it helped me a lot, more videos like this ❤❤

[@giorgiolamborghini813]

I am sure that Kate Clark, besides being a great flutist and concert performer, is also a great teacher and in this video she showed it. Great Kate!

[@nancylee8061]

Thank you for your informative video. What a beautiful sound you have! ❤

[@austin7]

Thank you so much for these educational videos. I already knew a lot about the baroque flute, but I didn’t realize that this fingering system was the same for classical and early romantic era flutes as well. Such a shame that most people nowadays will never hear historical music played on period instruments, as the standard modern orchestra and modern instruments are used to play virtually all classical repertoire written for orchestra.

[@JustinHEMI05]

I totally fell in love with the sound of that instrument with Kate playing it.

[@MrCottonmouth18]

Debería haber más vídeos con Kate. Es maravillosa.

[@lawrencecollins3190]

Ms. Clark. Outstanding presentation.. please tell me wher I can purchase both the renaissance and baroque flutes please 😊

[@Tesserae]

My introduction to flute music was James Gallway's recordings and that metallic sound was very discomforting to my ears. Many years later, I discovered performances on period instruments and I could love listening to Bach again.

[@userunknown2771]

The exerpt at the beginning was a bit of Badinerie by J.S.Bach

[@VoicesofMusic]

Indeed.

[@mantistoboggan2676]

I just bought an aulos plastic baroque flute and unfortunately youtube has such little informative videos on the subject.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

What fantastic acoustics in wherever she is. If I didn't know better, I'd almost think everything was put through a reverb pedal. It makes a nice sharp note. The modern flute is a little breathy. Which can be nice. Not necessarily a bad thing.

[@AllanTheBanjo]

Sounds to me too like they've added some reverb to the recording. It's not present when she speaks so I don't think it's the natural response of the building - but I could be wrong.

[@CarlosHenrique-bv4wt]

Lovely

[@mccypr]

Thanks! I’m focusing on the Recorder right now. I wonder how the Baroque Flute would work for playing Folk music? I tried the Baroque Flute in the 90’s focusing on Baroque music. I wonder how it would work on English, Cape Breton and Irish Folk music? I want to have a little different sound for these other than the usual keyed wooden Flute. I’m also working on this music with the Violin. 😎

[@VoicesofMusic]

Works great for folk music, but there are also Irish flutes and folk flutes.

[@wilmapistorius7786]

This is a very lovely video, thank you! I'm just meeting the traverso, and finding it beautiful. What is the piece you are playing in the end?

[@jandirk4012]

Really interesting and wonderifully played! Which piece did you play on the Renaissance flute (and afterwards on the Baroque flute)?

[@Must_not_say_that]

See what you mean about the sound. Anyone can love that sound.

[@schiniachilensis]

Cada instrumento tiene lo suyo y para gustos, colores. Hay ocasiones en los que es mejor contar con el timbre brillante de una flauta traversa de metal y en otras ocasiones es preferible el timbre más apagado y cálido de un traverso barroco. A fin de cuentas, la afinación ha ido cambiando con el tiempo, haciendo que la música del barroco no suene tan brillante como en la música del clasicismo, sobre todo desde la mitad en adelante, en el que las orquestas crecen en número y se hace necesario contar con instrumentos que tengan más posibilidades que en el barroco.

[@RosssRoyce]

Haha the “renaissance flute” really feels to me like modern invention 😛 They come in 440hz mostly too.

[@manalone27]

What tune did she played on the Renaissance Flute?

[@RobertoMartinez-kv5tp]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@guru4017]

Can some one please explain what is the difference between Irish flute and Renaissance flute ?

[@VoicesofMusic]

Irish flute is more like a 19th century or late Classical flute. The bore is conical. Renaissance flute has no keys and the bore is nearly cylindrical. Some Irish flutes are made without keys, but typically the bore design is of a later style. There's lots of different types.
