The Misty Mountains (Hobbit) on the Tenor Recorder

[@olivelegend7384]

I feel like everyone used to play recorder in primary school, and this has created lots of negative thoughts around the recorder. More people should open their minds, and see that the recorder can be played beautifully when played correctly. Wonderful playing, sounds superb!

[@jimgilbert9984]

I know what you mean. At one time, the recorder was considered a serious and respected instrument. I tried to learn how to play when I learned the above, but by then my arthritis made it too difficult. So I'm trying to learn to play the ocarina. A good ocarina can produce beautiful sounds, as well.

[@letsschubertiad1966]

wonderfull, clear sound, finally someone who plays the instrument as it should be played!

[@Richard_Artist]

…really? Sounds how it should? Nah it’s computer audio corrected…

[@letsschubertiad1966]

@@Richard_Artist no, if you work really hard on your articulation you are getting a sound like glass

[@Richard_Artist]

@@letsschubertiad1966 …don’t be daft lol 😂…it’s obviously corrected…I’ve been playing the recorder for 35 years so I know when the instrument has been put through a computer app! Lol

[@letsschubertiad1966]

@@Richard_Artist and I am sure that it's not.

[@Richard_Artist]

@@letsschubertiad1966 …then enjoy…but for anyone starting out on the recorder thinking that they will never play like that…the answer is you can if you get the app! Or play in a very big building with echo lol 😂…listen to some of our best professional players then listen to this again, you will hear the difference…

I was on the fence about trying a tenor and this video single-handedly convinced me within the first three seconds.

[@milkteamachine]

I've been practicing on alto and soprano mostly, but this inspired me to get a tenor as well. So lovely.

[@janahradecna2120]

Ive just bought my first tenor, it has arrived today and I am amazed how beautifully it sounds. I have always played just soprano recorder. My fingers are still screaming for help😀, but the sound is awesome

[@niall2236]

Beautiful! Just invested in my first Tenor! Can wait for it to arrive

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Absolutely majestic.

The tenor recorder is highly underrated.

very beautifull , i hope one day to get to that level

[@simoncorser8083]

@dannyfossez thank you. Just keep practising and enjoy it 😊👍

Enjoyed listening to this piece as well, especially that last note with the drop-off!

[@borusa32]

wonderful

[@umgawa1503]

You play that flute pretty well. I especially like the echo on the background. Thumbs up and greetings from Belgium

[@gringochucha]

Beautiful. I'm trying to decide which recorder to start with (I play flute), and I think you've sold me on the tenor!

[@davidscotland8883]

Amazing... Makes me want to take up recorder. Not played since high school!

[@BevMattocks]

Beautiful. Have shared with my son who's taking delivery of a tenor recorder tomorrow, to add to our collection of recorders!

[@thedogs3467]

Amazing sir

[@garywest3763]

Love this Song, Played on the Aulos A511B Tenor. Well Done!!. Love that Tenor, it is my Favorite out of the three i have. Well, let me re-phrase that, Each one of my Tenor's is my favorite one while iam play them. Love this Style of Music for the Tenor recorder, and all Renaissance and Baroque style music, and Modern interpretations of those era's.

[@petercane6376]

I echo a lot of the comments. You sold me to the Tenor within seconds. I have ordered aYamaha 304B as it was available and as good as the Aulos. ( Now I am in for it). Thank you and YES... please play some more soothing tenor recorder music. I like recorders as they are not as loud as flutes that sometimes sends me deaf. Also easier to blow and does not annoy the neighbours....

Hello I have a question. How do you make the higher notes on this flute ? Other than that very nice.

[@LarryShone]

Excellent! I too have an Aulos tenor. What did you use to add reverb? Its just the perfect amount!

Beautiful! Seems so easy to play, but the finger gymnastics is very hard, and I get cramps easily. The holes are so far appart !! 😓

[@simoncorser8083]

Thanks for your comment. Have you tried twisting your wrist a little and so bending the fingers? This might help reaching the holes 👍

[@cutechiangels]

@@simoncorser8083 Thanks for your tips. I've tried a few different mouvements, yes. But, I'll keep trying! The problem is cramps in my wrists and some fingers. Did you have to practice a lot, meaning lots of hours/days before finding the right angles and so ? I had kind of the same problem with the guitar. It wasn't the distances, but I had bad cramping and complete blocages, especially with the string hand, which usually is the left hand (for right handed people). One day, I decided to switch the strings over!! Because I just got fed up by being so stuck. And guess what, it worked!! Yay! No more cramps, and blocages. It came from the brain hemispheres! Mentally, I'm left-handed, alas have been forced to be right-handed. But I do a lot of things with my left hand, appart from the forced writing. But, I can also write with my left hand, which I never trained, it's natural although less fluid because no practice. But, I don't think there are left-handed flutes around! 🤭
