Making a RECORDER out of a CARROT! | Team Recorder

In this video I am joined by pro recorde builder Tim Cranmore, who shows me how to build a real working RECORDER out of a humble CARROT!
IMPORTANT: This 'DIY' turned out to be more complex and... dangerous than I originally thought. It involves drills, scalpels and other sharp things, so Don't try this at home, unless you are a resposible and experienced adult! Team Recorder cannot accept ANY responsibility for injuries gained whilst copying this video.

The carrot recorder sounds 10x better than my recorder from the dollar store 😂

[@kayleighb2981]

same but mine's from walmart 😂😂

[@jim3686]

Mine's a kingsley

[@evankjee]

Lol

[@tomorrowcuber6899]

Mine is 2$.

[@theone614]

LoL just fill it with two part epoxy and rework it.

[@fenjaregel4030]

Those carrot recorders have surprisingly good sound! This video is great, loved the fact that the placement of the holes doesn't matter, it gives hope to small-handed people

[@ninarochette1671]

You can tune a carrot, but you can't tuna fish. Or maybe you can, with the right tools.

[@cantareitaliano]

this comment was looked over :D

[@Jeanniebugg]

REO Speedwagon

[@GarGlingT]

LOLOLolllll

[@sketch-o-mania3028]

Lmao

[@DancingRain]

Oh my goodness! That was so delightfully whimsical! And I'm blown away by how good a carrot sounds. Bravissimo!

[@clariceasquith845]

this deserves way more than 48230 views 🙂

[@ecojosh1]

I want to see a food orchestra now.

[@loco_lion3194]

There's actually a thing called a vegetable orchestra.

[@TheVoitel]

Check out the ”Wiener Gemüseorchester“.

[@mailbox451]

This is my favorite video on the internets ever.

[@brogle437]

“It’s called a carrot.”

[@robertofontiglia4148]

For it is orange, with a green top.

[@Cecilia-bp2dn]

You could have a consort of root vegetable recorders ... and eat your instruments as the finale to the performance : ) I'm sure someone somewhere has already done this.

[@lawrencegleason4666]

Far too enjoyable. Also, unexpectedly fascinating. Be warned. Probably dangerous to watch when driving.

[@88namiller]

7:22 So it IS the size that counts!

[@PinkyDoodlyUK]

What a lovely gentleman!

[@gillchatfield3231]

Just come back to this one, following a Facebook discussion related to Oxford University's project on 3D printing historical recorders. I'd forgotten just how good it was - and funny 😂

[@brattingprincess]

That sounds amazing!!! Unfortunately you can't print violins.

[@gblan]

I have a calabash gourd in low F if you ever need a veggie bass.

[@jimmagwojo2718]

Bravo Sarah, this is why I Love Team Recorder - its really informative but a lot of fun as well

[@jcortese3300]

This is fantastic -- precisely the kind of charming British wackiness that makes you guys so awesome. American wackiness consists more of teenaged boys accidentally lighting themselves on fire while trying to do skateboard half-pipes over their dad's pickup truck.

[@itsmeGeorgina]

This was fun, I needed a break from the christmas concerts, what better than watching you two drill and PLAY a couple of carrots

[@alancantor9437]

This is a wonderful video about instruments that are excellent sources of Vitamin A and Potassium! I took Tim Cranmore's five-day recorder-making course , although we used maple wood rather than root vegetables! Read the story of the course here: www.cantoraccess.com/publications/misc_2012_recorder_making.shtml. Also see this short video about Tim's course and the recorder I built: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH7SqX6EosZ6e9k

[@flutechannel]

Super fun to watch! We gotta do a collaboration soon! How can we get in contact?

[@somtohtube]

rejected

[@justink1427]

Wait, there’s a London Vegetable Orchestra?

[@robertofontiglia4148]

i know, right ? Like, how did that come up super casually right at the end of the video ?

[@emorybatten284]

Love It! So entertaining. Also love the pumpkins sitting there. Are you going to make an instrument out of pumpkins next? hmm. ... I will stay tuned..

[@Team_Recorder]

I was trying to convince Tim to make a pumpkin ocarina but he wasn't convinced! :D

[@classicalmusiclover7903]

I can just hear my mum saying "Stop play with your food!"

[@luciamoir2641]

FANTASTIC!

[@beckybattams6532]

The guy should have dyed his hair green, lol. The carrot recorders sound lovely.

[@andrewmclellan3992]

That's AMAZING! I also thought that it was integral that the holes be spaced at specific distances. *mind blown here too

[@csayumi]

Great video! It was very interesting seeing a professional impression and real process of making a popular DIY that isn't so simple. And your results were incredible 😄

[@harrisonmin5190]

This was so fun to watch. I want one now....

[@deriksson]

I love this video, thanks for making it! Saw the bagpipe last year and that was also great fun to watch.

[@jesusoliveira2]

Both size and position matter.

[@jokingpants]

This reminds me of an episode of "How" from the 1970's in which some hippies used vegetables in place of instruments. They were using a cabbage for percussion or something.

[@iolair1973]

"Hi, I'm Sarah, and I'm a carrot player".

[@glenparker234]

Talk about playing with your food! I never thought about playing my food.

[@mynvision]

This is hilarious! I want to make one out of a purple carrot now. Or a Japanese daikon. 🤣

[@briancarlick9958]

Gosh Tim! Love the voice flute but carrots! Anyhow this is no more mad than making Gemshorn in Steeple Aston many years ago. I remember your preferred tool for everything in those days was in fact a scalpel, perhaps filched from the health service. Best wishes, Brian

[@yknoturbss-oon594]

I need to try to do my very own Carrot Recorder. Thanks Taem Recorder

[@jesusrubio1633]

7:40 I love the fact that she put a carrot there just in case

[@Maytenus32]

If possible, please talk about modern recorders, like the Mollenhauer helder... Thanks!!!

[@Team_Recorder]

Great idea!

[@danielagedah]

Nice lesson Sarah.

[@woollyprimate]

This is such a fun video. And I think I have a crush on Tim.

[@zijdezacht3738]

Great video again! So funny. I'm starting to see an orchestra with other vegetables as well. Potato, turnip, asperagus, black salsify, parsnip, celereac etc.; you can plunder the catalogue of forgotten vegetables for inspiration. And afterwards the concerto a meal were the instruments are eaten. If that doesn't beat a Stradivarius...

[@bearifiablepau2095]

Oh my! I was not expecting such a great vid, thank you for this Sarah!!

[@Laetum]

Amazing and brilliantly funny too 😂

[@bwvtri]

Nice! I’d enjoy learning more about voicing, tuning etc recorders

[@hei444]

So cool!!!!!

[@misseli1]

And it actually sounds really nice!

[@yvesdelombaerde5909]

Baroque carrot: excellent!!!

[@yvesdelombaerde5909]

1/ lets play the carrot recorder 2/ lets recycle: carrot soup

[@6driscolls]

This is awesome! I don’t agree that it doesn’t matter where the holes are. That affects tuning across octaves.

[@brooksiefan]

One has to love a singing carrot! 💛

[@erlendsf58]

new level of procrastrination reached

[@autumnhomer9786]

This was great :-). I love this channel so much.

[@frillneckedlizard8529]

Orange carrots come from the netherlands. those apple core removal thingeys are a dutch invention too.

[@raptor9577]

I love all your videos!!!

[@mohafahas]

Hi Sarah, When I first came across your channel, I felt that your channel would helpful in recording sounds the best way. Anyways, I became a subscriber because of your blue eyes. Have a nice week. All the best.

[@yanshams9541]

Нам очень понравилось! Сами попробуем сделать!!! Спасибо!

[@christianfreeflutenotes3400]

Bugs bunny left the chat🤣🤣

[@beatesetzer2441]

Great fun!

[@taylorgraham2942]

Great vid! So much innuendo...

[@anneharrison1849]

I checked out his website and discovered most of his courses are in Cambridge - that would make living in Cambridge I useful thing and I just moved away from there without knowing I should have stayed to learn how to make a recorder.

[@cmw12]

You should sell the tools required in a kit! Market it to responsible adults, of course.

[@MohammadElmi]

The recorder builder guy was so cool.

[@alexandrewraggfreitas]

So nice!!... And surprising too!!... I actually found it incredibly curious to know that the whole placing is not so important... and now I keep thinking how am I to experiment... not on carrots, obviously... it has been done before!...

[@kimmyrawes8007]

thats is amazing

[@brodypenn]

I was about to recommend this video to you

[@kilimanjarno]

a professional carrot recorder! Great video!

[@Digeroo123]

Saftely first!!! Please note there are at least two safety mistakes in this video. Do not drill into a carrot while holding it in your hand, That is what a clamp is for. Also do not use a scalpel towards your fingers or thumbs. Again a clamp would be a safer option, thoigh being a carrot some kind of soft padding is probaly a must. But did really enjoy this video.

[@tommyrothead]

Wow, that's something!

[@rphuntarchive1]

This is amazing. Learning some interesting stuff too :)

[@astriktonoyan612]

Ooh that’s cool...it actually works

[@willemkossen]

Sweet! Really nice video!

[@MrZerolix]

So interesting! Such a charming lass.

[@Oaktreealley]

how fun!

[@lucasflauta]

Super Cool!!! 😁

[@lshin80]

Best video ever, I was constantly waving between LMAO and WTF?!?

[@maximellow5745]

The actually made a carrot recorder. Amazing I can't belive it.

[@eduardpastor3736]

Sweet!

[@gabrielbianchi1147]

❤❤❤

[@charliechrist7537]

That was a cool video I've been thinking about how I can make a recorder out of bamboo

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

charlie christ - I tried making a flute from bamboo - not easy to work with as it splits. The instructables web site might have a video on a bamboo recorder!

[@arendsmit3617]

You could try the most appropriate link of the buitenlandse gilden (=foreign guilds) links in bamboefluiten.nl/index.php/nl/links-2. The legacy of one frugal teacher from england with the same thought.

[@marrisasmakeup8084]

Mind blown

[@rachaelbratsch]

I used to do this with red vines licorice, hahaha!

[@ianletbey]

6:34 Tchaikovsky 4th symphony, 1st movement

[@Jesuswinsbirdofmichigan]

Lettuce all agree to sea veggies for what they could be.

[@olambatyah8415]

sounds amazing.. :)

[@AndyKaulitz483]

So interesting! One question: if the placement of the holes doesn't matter why don't the tenor and bass recorders have the holes in places where we can reach with the fingers? Instead they have the keys where the fingers can't stretch.

[@marieshkamuhammad9016]

9:36 Can't believe I can have an eargasm out of a carrot.😂

[@tamarapopovic3121]

Sarah DON'T DRILL PLEASE PLEASE save your fingers from danger

[@sashakindel3600]

To be clear, surely what sizes the finger holes need to be depends on their positions? I would think you could fix the positions and vary the sizes *or* fix the sizes and vary the positions, though obviously the former is a lot easier to do by trial and error.

[@ethanault8228]

He is hilarious 😂

[@tom_something]

Mine came out a little flat, but that's OK because I'm a little hungry.

[@detlevtiemann6006]

Da is helemaal te gek.waar kunnen we de blokmeker kopen? Zo leuk

[@lunadinkelberg6381]

If the place of the holes doesn't matter - why do bass recorders need keys?

[@Chompchompyerded]

As a string player, I'd like to know how to make a violin out of a gourd. Also, so that I can be even more astonished than I already am, I'd like to see a grand piano made out of any vegetable or combination of vegetables. Also, has anyone considered making a piccolo out of a pickerel? A frozen one preferably. Or a bass out of a bass, or a drum out of a drum (again, a frozen one would probably be better)?

[@nick.3455]

😂

[@ChrisUrbanExplorer]

If the distance between the holes doesn't matter why does the tenor have finger holes so far apart 😭😭😭

[@AlbySilly]

If making a recorder is this simple I'm gonna make a few with different materials :D

[@ternitamas]

watching a video about a carrot recorder... thanks youtube you disclosed a new level of weirdness

[@invisibules]

Now I'm going to have to check my Cranmore treble recorder to be certain it's made of wood.

[@Heivang]

omg, how did you dare to risk your finger with that drill? To all others that wanna do this at home please secure the carrot in a vice first. You don't want to see what drilled finger or a mauled hand looks like. A part from the safty issues this was awesome. Can't wait to try this. By the way, at what age is good to start to learn recorders for kids? At 8 months he's got a good grab and swing of the recorder.

[@Team_Recorder]

I won't lie - it was terrifying! Hence the 'don't try this at home' warning :D

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

I would surmise that the "carrot recorder" could last a lot longer, perhaps months, if keep in a freezer as opposed to only a week if kept in a refrigerator. 9:57 After watching this jocular tutorial, the question now is can Tim Cranmore build a real working OCARINA out of a humble sweet potato? 😊 ♫

[@zijdezacht3738]

At the risk of boring you to heck: a carrot is more or less a living thing which cells that contain water. When freezing the water expands more than the walls of the cell, so they break. That's why farmers work their butt off to harvest before the winter falls. You can test this with lettuce, which has even more water but the effect is more or less the same: your vegetable turns in some mushy pulp.

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

I prefer the organic recorder.

[@nenechonlisboa4127]

"I'm not going to make a seventh hole because this carrott is not long enough"... Out of context, this sounds wierd ! :)
