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
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 😂
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: th-cam.com/video/VMoxKNmaGEw/w-d-xo.html
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.
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.
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 😄
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
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...
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.
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.
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!...
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
I see! I have also seen Yamaha recorders with plastic blocks indeed, and as you say, that makes no real sense; thinking about it a plastic recorder with no block is the same virtualy than a plastic one with a plastic block. Thanks for your response, it made me reason the existance of the block and it is all clear now! Thanks again! Greetings from Mexico!
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.
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)?
The carrot recorder sounds 10x better than my recorder from the dollar store 😂
same but mine's from walmart 😂😂
Mine's a kingsley
Lol
Mine is 2$.
LoL just fill it with two part epoxy and rework it.

this deserves way more than 48230 views 🙂
You can tune a carrot, but you can't tuna fish. Or maybe you can, with the right tools.
this comment was looked over :D
REO Speedwagon
LOLOLolllll
Lmao
Oh my goodness! That was so delightfully whimsical!
And I'm blown away by how good a carrot sounds.
Bravissimo!
I want to see a food orchestra now.
There's actually a thing called a vegetable orchestra.
Check out the ”Wiener Gemüseorchester“.
What a lovely gentleman!
7:22 So it IS the size that counts!
“It’s called a carrot.”
For it is orange, with a green top.
Bravo Sarah, this is why I Love Team Recorder - its really informative but a lot of fun as well
This is my favorite video on the internets ever.
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 😂
That sounds amazing!!! Unfortunately you can't print violins.
I have a calabash gourd in low F if you ever need a veggie bass.
Far too enjoyable. Also, unexpectedly fascinating. Be warned. Probably dangerous to watch when driving.

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..
I was trying to convince Tim to make a pumpkin ocarina but he wasn't convinced! :D
This was fun, I needed a break from the christmas concerts, what better than watching you two drill and PLAY a couple of carrots
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.
Super fun to watch! We gotta do a collaboration soon! How can we get in contact?
rejected
Wait, there’s a London Vegetable Orchestra?
i know, right ? Like, how did that come up super casually right at the end of the video ?
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.
I can just hear my mum saying "Stop play with your food!"
The guy should have dyed his hair green, lol. The carrot recorders sound lovely.
FANTASTIC!
That's AMAZING! I also thought that it was integral that the holes be spaced at specific distances. *mind blown here too
Nice lesson Sarah.
I love this video, thanks for making it! Saw the bagpipe last year and that was also great fun to watch.
If possible, please talk about modern recorders, like the Mollenhauer helder... Thanks!!!
Great idea!
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 😄
This was so fun to watch. I want one now....
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
Nice! I’d enjoy learning more about voicing, tuning etc recorders
I need to try to do my very own Carrot Recorder.
Thanks Taem Recorder
Нам очень понравилось! Сами попробуем сделать!!! Спасибо!
Oh my! I was not expecting such a great vid, thank you for this Sarah!!
This is awesome! I don’t agree that it doesn’t matter where the holes are. That affects tuning across octaves.
Orange carrots come from the netherlands. those apple core removal thingeys are a dutch invention too.
Talk about playing with your food! I never thought about playing my food.
And it actually sounds really nice!
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...
This is hilarious! I want to make one out of a purple carrot now. Or a Japanese daikon. 🤣
Amazing and brilliantly funny too 😂
"Hi, I'm Sarah, and I'm a carrot player".
Both size and position matter.
Baroque carrot: excellent!!!
7:40 I love the fact that she put a carrot there just in case
Great fun!
i love this man omg

So cool!!!!!
Great vid! So much innuendo...
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!...
One has to love a singing carrot! 💛
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.
You should sell the tools required in a kit! Market it to responsible adults, of course.
This was great :-). I love this channel so much.
new level of procrastrination reached
I love all your videos!!!
Da is helemaal te gek.waar kunnen we de blokmeker kopen? Zo leuk
1/ lets play the carrot recorder 2/ lets recycle: carrot soup
The recorder builder guy was so cool.
Wow, that's something!
Ooh that’s cool...it actually works
I was about to recommend this video to you
This is such a fun video. And I think I have a crush on Tim.
a professional carrot recorder! Great video!
Bugs bunny left the chat🤣🤣
how fun!
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.
Sweet! Really nice video!
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.
This is amazing. Learning some interesting stuff too :)
Super Cool!!! 😁
That was a cool video I've been thinking about how I can make a recorder out of bamboo
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!

So interesting! Such a charming lass.
Sweet!
thats is amazing
6:34
Tchaikovsky 4th symphony, 1st movement
sounds amazing.. :)
Mind blown
Hi! I noticed some recorders do not have blocks, do you know if that makes them better or worse? eg. Yamaha Plastic Tenor
I see! I have also seen Yamaha recorders with plastic blocks indeed, and as you say, that makes no real sense; thinking about it a plastic recorder with no block is the same virtualy than a plastic one with a plastic block. Thanks for your response, it made me reason the existance of the block and it is all clear now! Thanks again! Greetings from Mexico!
Sarah DON'T DRILL PLEASE PLEASE save your fingers from danger
The actually made a carrot recorder. Amazing I can't belive it.
9:36 Can't believe I can have an eargasm out of a carrot.😂
Best video ever, I was constantly waving between LMAO and WTF?!?
❤❤❤
Lettuce all agree to sea veggies for what they could be.
If the place of the holes doesn't matter - why do bass recorders need keys?
He is hilarious 😂
I used to do this with red vines licorice, hahaha!
10.13, is that a missed note? :D
was the orange shirt planned?
Haha it was not!
Mine came out a little flat, but that's OK because I'm a little hungry.
And is it wood or plastic
Now I'm going to have to check my Cranmore treble recorder to be certain it's made of wood.
Why no thumb hole?
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.
I won't lie - it was terrifying! Hence the 'don't try this at home' warning :D
watching a video about a carrot recorder... thanks youtube you disclosed a new level of weirdness
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.
