Why do we need bass recorders? Is bigger better? is it just for the bling? have a look...

A tenor recorder in d from the 1920's, before life was simplified to a choice between c and f. And was there a musicological reason for that? Apparently not...

Eugene Crijnen and Tim Cranmore play Hotetterre

In 1997 I had the privilege of performing with Eugene Crijnen, baroque flute maker, as part of a makers recital in the Early Music Exhibition in London. It was hot, we were stressed out by the exhbition, my tinnitus was dreadful, but we somehow managed to play. I thought it was lost until, a few years ago, i found a cassette... Eugene sadly passed away in 2016, so this is for him

Is this jazz
Love the bass recorder. Would like to see more videos like this. Optional cuckoo 😆
I thought the sound was a metronome until the cuckoo!
Is this a basset or great bass?
Gorgeous! Loving the Gershwin!
Fabulous fun!
Não faz pra ganhoto
Wow
Brilliant! Yes, in the fourth grade I was taught the fundamentals of music on a plastic recorder called the “Tonette”. It was the early 1960’s here in the States and to tie into the space race, the Tonette resembled a cartoon version of a rocket ship. You can imagine what a classroom of this caterwauling was like! My grandson is currently studying on a plastic school recorder and so the horror continues!
I wonder if the bent plastic recorders spent decades in a blistering hot attic. Though it's possible they were dumped out of the mold before the plastic had really set. Something with a Renaissance-style bore would work better for schools. You wouldn't get the same weird difference tones.
From where do I get this epic traditional flutes now a days??

Thank you. What about the Alto recorder please? Ii just starting to learn on it (am a senior lady….
I watched this video and although you hardly played your Dragon recorder I was immediatly struck with its sound. I checked out your website and I am not a discerning musician but even I could tell straightaway that your Dragon recorder is an excellent insturment, with a beautiful sound. It is certinly up there with the best if not the best. I only play at home for my own contentment (...and frustration!) and cannot justify buying one but I just wanted to say that as an observation of the quality of your recorder.
Ps. My book, Obedience training for recorders, would help. Available via Google
If you visualise the end of the windway, the top and bottom surfaces, windway and block, both end with a right angle. The chamfers are small 45 degree cuts across that right angle. Block is easy, windway, you can see with a small mirror on a stick. Cut this with a scalpel. This will stabilise the lower notes, in theory, size for an alto about 1mm
Hey Tim - I don't know if you can help me out. I'm trying to make a tenor recorder - but I can't get the low notes! When I try to play the low notes it only hits the first harmonic above. Is this a common problem - is there a simple fix?
Various reasons. The bore size, lack of chamfers, rough wood, fragments in the finger holes. Anything that disturbs the stability
@@timcranmore200 Thanks! when you say Chamfers - where do I put the chamfers? I'm doing this mostly by guesswork at the moment...
You are a very talented craftsman of the "old school", Tim. I really enjoyed hearing about the history and description of the mediaeval instruments. Thank you. God bless you with a joyous and peaceful Christmas and a bright New Year.
When reading/playing recorders in G or D does one use a different fingering scheme than with those in C and F?
Yes. It is tricky to start with but you get used to it
Very interesting! The Tartu model, especially the modified one with tempered scale, reminds me a bit of the Ganassi model. As are the internal chambers of these two recorders, are they cylindrical or have some taper, narrowing, widening in the bell etc. What is the range of the notes of these two flutes? Congratulations for your research and for the construction of these splendid specimens.
They are all cylindrical as far as we can tell. A a straight hole is, of course, the easiest to make, and we can probably assume that the makers didn't feel a need to improve what they had made, as they were probably folk instruments. They have a standard octave plus a sixth range, but higher notes can be found if you look.
I love the sound of the Tartu original and Tartu G and F
Gorgeous! 🥰
I look forward to seeing if they respond after seeing your video!
Put your website in your description - that's how all the pro youtubers do it
Your video description
you are funny but i prefer my fiddle
had to watch another one.... love watching you in fact
The labium was very thin and pointing upwards. I just pushed it down with my finger and it worked better
Now you made me curious to know what little thing you did! To the „block“, the labium, some finger holes? Was it even baroque fingering or German - your video did not include your right pinky to watch…
Oh dear, maybe this is an opportunity lost, but I am not very sympathetic. I find the attitude of people messing about with 3D printing quite irritating, and often presented as a way of undermining the efforts of those who can make things manually.
I wonder where you’ve experienced this? It’s not something I have encountered. Most of the best makers I know happily use whatever tools and processes are available and suitable for the parts they require. Often a mixture of digital fabrication and hand making.
interesting video . Tim.@@ParpClinkBonk

Hi Tim, is it any wonder kids gave up the recorder in school and teachers encouraged them onto other woodwind. Great post.
Is this jazz coz I don't like jazz but I seem to like this
It better not be!
Dear Gawd we have a marvellous heathen amongst us
That's so cool! Does it need high blowing speed/ pressure? I recently found a safety wistle on my hiking bag built into one of the plastic clicky lock things. But they don't make sound unless blown with a very high pressure which is tricky in the first place. So wondering if it's common as they get smaller they get trickier to play?
If you whittling tiny recorder in you pocket knife ....it sounds 🎶✨ great ✨🎶 ( and remember put one extra hole for you lower lip for half notes )

Wow! Beautiful. The recorder has a wonderful sound.
Christopher Lee?
yes, but the groovy tunes looks really cool ! ;)
Correct me if im wrong but isnt that a saxophone with carrots on top of it and a bellpepper for the thing? No hate just askin
It depends. The main difference between Saxes and Clarinets is that Saxophones are constructed with a conical bore. Clarinets, although they have a flared bell and taper near the mouthpiece, are cylindrical bore instruments. The shape of the bore and the resulting changes to acoustics are what differentiates saxes and clarinets, not the external shape.
Hi there everyone! Great image quality! Thanks for the video. I want to ask you the next. There are two types of bass recorder. One like on this video and other that is "bent". It seems that that is bent is easier to read the scores whereas that on this video seems to block the view. I'm an amateur player and need to see the notes. Am I certainty? Thanks in advance.
Bent recorders are a modern invention. Although they do make it easier to read.
@@timcranmore200 I really appreciate your time! Thanks a lot for answering my question!
Amazing!
⚠✝ You've been (warned)! Damn atheists' better run to your crying safe rooms! Since my God is real and shortly to return I feel cheated. Paganini never had TH-cam. Mr. Cranmore, your legacy is not limited by technology, and so could be safely saved for infinite time. If that occurs, my God is therefore unreal. Wouldn't it be exciting to watch Mr. Stradivarius? I'm glad you've shared this valuable craft and what it feels to actually do the work. It's timeless in its value especially to future( ? ) makers. SS, 10/30/2022✝.
@_01:06 I started laughing too much to continue!
Just wow! Andy prays we keep her oiled well, just beautiful design by Mr. Loretto. Damn fine video explaining in detail the windway cutting machines functioning. Just too cool.
Very cool. The end is so fitting for October!
Completely great. I'm without anything more to say.
Sounds surprising similar to the clarinets you buy on gear4music
The bell is now a bell pepper
Sounds like bears necessities :)
Seems hard to make a recorder. Also the wood needs to be seasoned right? I was wanting to obtain an ebony moeck recorder and I probably should have bought one years ago as now they are very hard to come by. In saying g that I would like someone to build me a recorder soprano which a432 resonance. My rosewood moeck soprano is a429. The ebony is a harder wood so I wanted to see the difference been the harder wood may be used for fast passages as the rosewood will be more mellow. Indeed the tenor recorder you played has a beautiful sound. I would like a tenor without any levers. I also own an alto recorder which does have a very mellow sound also made from rosewood and it's a moeck. My sopranino recorder is a mollenhour. Sorry incorrect spelling. I'm sure you will e familiar with this make. I could get up and have a look. Nope no information. The moeck indeed is a rosewood 429 rottenburg. Freidrick von huene. Jean hyacinth Joseph Brussels 1672 1765 that's what it says on the label. Flautist Dolce. Indeed it is my favourite. Also the alto I quite like also.
Thanks. I met Eugene once at his place at Pau that was somehow ( difficult to say why) a very impressive moment. I am fortunate enough to play one of his flute.
