Recorder Physics

[@zaxxy245]

Somehow this random school project manages to be the best explanation of woodwind acoustics I've seen on KZbin!

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you so much! Sorry the audio is a bit wonky

[@Mrwiseguyisthebest]

I know right!

[@Mrwiseguyisthebest]

​@@seakhajiitwell done, this was incredibly helpful for me trying to understand some things about woodwinds

[@seakhajiit]

@@Mrwiseguyisthebest Thank you!

[@els1f]

That was really succinct and informative! It answered a lot of questions I was having about the _why_ behind the _how's_ that I've learned

[@seakhajiit]

@@els1f thank you! ❤️

[@haraldrosell4007]

Amazing explanation! I am a recorder player since 4 years and I have always wondered how they work, but this made it all clear. You would be a great teacher!

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you!

[@jaakkopontinen]

I'm learning how to make simple woodwind instrument-ish things, multi-tine whistles etc. This solidified some knowledge and increased it as well. Thank you!

[@zethcader6478]

I have 0 understanding in the technical physical notation and explanation, but the visual aids benefited greatly, allowing a rough understanding of the topic. Greatly appreciated. :)

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you! This was a high school project so the goal was to explain everything in a very clear way that was easy to understand.

whoa amazing video !!

[@stevatakovac4785]

Mate, thank you so much. I've been looking for a video about this for 2 days, and you were my salvation. The animations are perfect, and the information was really useful. Again, thank you a lot for bringing this knowledge to me. :D

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I could be of help :3 May I why you were looking for this kind of video?

[@stevatakovac4785]

@@seakhajiit During this pandemic we have a lot of homework, and one thing we had to do is exactly this video, how a recorder works. Your video made it a million times easier. :D

[@seakhajiit]

@@stevatakovac4785 This was actually a project for my final year of high school, we had to take one of the main topics from the year and relate it to a real world thing. We also got to choose how to convey the info (essay, poster, video, etc) It took me about a week straight during study break doing basically nothing but work on it, so it makes me really happy it's useful to other people, thank you for taking the time to comment it really made my day :D

[@stevatakovac4785]

@@seakhajiit Again, thank you, you made my day too. :DD

[@saiskanda]

Amazingly well explained!

[@kristinownby7883]

Great explanation of the physics of the recorder - but something is wrong with the sound volume - had to turn up the sound to max on my computer, and then could barely hear you - I wanted to hear everything you had to sy ... but very difficult :( ... then the next video came up and almost blew out my speakers before I could quickly turn down the sound again ... Pls correct on your end so I can hear your video with so much great info ...

[@chandradeka7024]

Excellent. I was searching such video. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@stars-and-clouds]

Wow. I really wish you'd make more physics videos... This is one of the best videos I've seen on any physics explanation (I'm an astroinformatics student so I see a lot of those).

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you so much! This was a project from my final year of highschool, and i'm glad people are getting use out of it!

[@jdslin]

TIL. Wish I was as diligent a student as you. Thanks!

[@greatnate29]

Genuinely very helpful. Thanks!

[@seakhajiit]

[@mastarji3335]

Great visuals and explanations! I'm so impressed by your thoroughness in relating so many aspects of playing to physics; usually many don't bother to go into the physics of actual instrument design or playing techniques. Please increase the volume next time though! I'm also not sure if this is just me but I could only hear the video from one earbud.

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you so much! This video was a project for a high school physics class so I don't think I'll do any similar videos. It's kind of ironic I messed up the sound mixing on a video of this topic, but I vaguely remember realizing this after submitting my work, so I didn't want to change it in case my editing after the fact would change my grade :3

[@takshshrivastava7184]

This is a really sound and detailed explanation. Could you please tell me which software you used to detect the frequency? Thank you

[@seakhajiit]

Thank you! The program I used was Adobe Audition

[@JohnTyree]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@20teverify]

Super cool!

[@chandradeka7024]

I am learning to make side blown bamboo flutes of different diameters. And facing lots of problems to tune it. Could you please help me ...

[@seakhajiit]

I am very sorry but I never got into the specifics of what sizes/diameters/materials would produce specific notes. I wish you luck on your search and I'll let you know if I find anything!

Brilliant video!

[@ayiukokatsu]

Yeah the people in the comments are right. Always been a good teacher hehe

[@seakhajiit]

Hehe

[@tramadoljanne123]

Great video! By the way, what grade did you get on this video if I may ask?

[@seakhajiit]

The assignment was to "Demonstrate understanding of the application of physics to a selected context" and I achieved it with Excellence (basically top marks). The grading system goes; Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit, Excellence Way more work than I needed to do for 3 credits (most people just made posters;;) but I'm still getting comments years later so it was worth it. Sorry it took me so long to reply!

[@tramadoljanne123]

@@seakhajiit your video helped me tremendously, I was doing basically the exact assignment a couple of months ago and I must say, I couldn’t have done it without this video!
