This is a well prepared program. Thank you for the explaination in this video how to make a wooden recorder. I understand why I pay USD $360 in July 1, 2011. YAMAHA YRS-64. The wooden recorder sounds better than the plastic ones. It worths the money. I bought 8 plastics recorders. They are cheap. $5 -$7 a piece. Different color. I guess that the wooden recorder has small air bubbles (cells) inside the wood. Therefore, it resonates better than the plastic ones.
I wish that I had the time to have a go at making one. I bought a book on how to, but have never got the time. Making it is as much as an art as playing it. Thanks for the show
@rceretta actually there are more contemporary pieces than historical period music made for the recorder..(most of music for the rec.. are made after 1950's)
@CutieAngelGirl3 to me, the sound are the same whether it's plastic or wood, lol. becuz flute or recorder sound comes from air and cutting not material. wooden is just feels more expensive.
I have toyed with the idea of making my own recorder. Wood turning is something I have not got around to doing yet. (I do fine woodwork). It is truly a work of art demonstrated by this fine craftsman. My recorders come from Germany (moeck mullenhour) it would be interesting if this artist would visit the places in Germany to see how they make the recorders there. A recorder player I think Jillian White was talking about having recorders made in Eastern Australia.
Well, it certainly can't stand up to a modern orchestra like a modern woodwind can, but has been used there at least once -- in a piece by John Adams called "Flowering Tree". The San Francisco Symphony performed it and the two players were Judy Linsenberg and Letitia Berlin, world-class professional musicians and two of my teachers.
@ChristianRusten I use a plastic Yamaha, sounds about as good as a wooden one. I think wood sounds a bit better, but it takes more efforts to take care of it, also with wood the sound gets better if you use it regularly (Due to moisture) but if you stop using it for a while, then you have to start using it again for a while to remoisturing it. (Did I just make up that last word? :p)
the baroque is more of an artistic school dated after the renneissance and before the clasical era. thus, the recorder is a pre-calassical authentic instrument.
@gitily This would carry on any errors that had the measured recorder, plus the ones he might make. Copies of copies have this drawback. ((although still better than nothing, I guess :P))
@kikook222 because they are easy to learn. Even the teachers who never learned before they have to teach it can usually learn it.. if you have any coordination and musical ear, you can probably play it.
"How It's Made" is one of my favorite TV program. Some day, I wish I could see 'How the harpsichord is made'.

This was enlightening. I love watching people make things with their hands.

I've played the recorder for decades, now i know how its made. thanks for posting this.
im in elementary and they gave us a wooden, real fancy recorder
@rceretta actually there are more contemporary pieces than historical period music made for the recorder..(most of music for the rec.. are made after 1950's)
these instruments are beautiful and under-appreciated
the humbol flute it is beautiful
@CutieAngelGirl3 to me, the sound are the same whether it's plastic or wood, lol. becuz flute or recorder sound comes from air and cutting not material. wooden is just feels more expensive.
The song is Bach - BWV 1013 Allemande, check the performance by Kaori Fujii on TH-cam... I love the song too

an artist and a craftsman, what a splendid combination :o)
the recorder is like, what you should play before you play clarinet. It's almost exactly the same.
woot, the partita in A minor for flute! I want the sheet music for recorder X3
Wow theres a lot of work there!!!
Amazing! I just got my first alto recorder, and I can't wait to learn how to play it like that guy there. :P
Cool. I wanna learn how 2 play a recorder.
Good program. Thank you.
I am blown away !!!!!!!! :O
Recorders are back from the medieval times and they frikkin rule!

Good and useful vídeo !!!
@llama103 well I could imagine those who play the recorder use it quite often

I want a wooden one, it so shiny XD
Yowzers! I'll bet those instruments he makes cost a ton. Not a lot of craftsmen around like that anymore.
@CutieAngelGirl3 No you wont. They are properly made :). Also wood sounds a lot better and it absorbs the moisture better so it wont clog
the baroque is more of an artistic school dated after the renneissance and before the clasical era.

Incredible video.
I only hear him playing the J.S. Bach a minor flute (traverso) partita. The Allemande, first movement. Am I correct??
i have an good quality wooden recorder which i use to play celtic-pagan music and theyre realy fun!
@gitily This would carry on any errors that had the measured recorder, plus the ones he might make. Copies of copies have this drawback. ((although still better than nothing, I guess :P))
@darlalovly Its in the key of B Minor, and i'm pretty sure its in 6-8 time. I'm sorry I couldn't give you more information I hope this helps.
Thanks for posting this video. It's very nice!
and people who don't know any better still call them flutes today.
and no one is sure if it was really written for solo flauto, some say it was intended to be accompanied
hard work!!
Those line drawings piss me off so much
How do they make plastic recorder? Because I have a recorder but it's plastic. I really love recorders.
Great, It´s ONLY !
Fascinating but why the Jane Fonda exercise video music to accompany?
very interesting, very informative, but the background Muzak was horrible. Why couldn't they have put in some recorder music instead.
i suggest you make a how its made Babies
We did this as a final in wood shop Lol we got to engrave it and everything :) i got a A- though, Lol
My recorder is pear-wooden Hohner per $20
really? I thought they were clever. I wonder how they did those line drawings.
Nah.. There's a lot of contemporary pieces written for recorder.
1:11 what are those notes?
1:11 what are the notes?
It's not a secret! Just go online or to a museum to get measurements from Baroque recorders.
What was the song on the recorder that the man was playing?Because I do not know.
The what period??!!! The ba-roke period???!!!! Eh?
The only good recorder video on you tube!
I hated music in 5th grade because mine stunk like popcorn and wet dog.

Stairway to lube
what are the notes that he was playing?
Whoa...I thought they grew on trees........I have a question though, why do schools use Recorders as a standard?
@kikook222 because they are easy to learn. Even the teachers who never learned before they have to teach it can usually learn it.. if you have any coordination and musical ear, you can probably play it.
1:11 how do you play that? o_o
i heard it was kung fu

Wht make of recorder is that
1:11 i need notes please :(

A lot of work for an instrument that's rarely used. *shakes head*.
(sarcastic voice)
wow, cool. everybody needs to know how a recorder is made
Actually Recorder was invented by Kurds in middle east.
i played the recorder for 6 years. and only know dat i know how was it made..lol
Acme
16 notes = 2 octaves? One octave has 12 notes... (and I know a recorder plays half-notes)
