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 😂
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 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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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!...
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I would surmise that the "carrot recorder" could last a lot longer, perhaps months, if keep in a freezer as opposed to only a week if kept in a refrigerator. 9:57 After watching this jocular tutorial, the question now is can Tim Cranmore build a real working OCARINA out of a humble sweet potato? 😊 ♫
At the risk of boring you to heck: a carrot is more or less a living thing which cells that contain water. When freezing the water expands more than the walls of the cell, so they break. That's why farmers work their butt off to harvest before the winter falls. You can test this with lettuce, which has even more water but the effect is more or less the same: your vegetable turns in some mushy pulp.
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.
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
Oh my goodness! That was so delightfully whimsical!
And I'm blown away by how good a carrot sounds.
Bravissimo!
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
this deserves way more than 48230 views 🙂
Super fun to watch! We gotta do a collaboration soon! How can we get in contact?
rejected
Bravo Sarah, this is why I Love Team Recorder - its really informative but a lot of fun as well
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.
This is my favorite video on the internets ever.
I want to see a food orchestra now.
There's actually a thing called a vegetable orchestra.
Check out the ”Wiener Gemüseorchester“.
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
What a lovely gentleman!

“It’s called a carrot.”
For it is orange, with a green top.
This was fun, I needed a break from the christmas concerts, what better than watching you two drill and PLAY a couple of carrots
7:22 So it IS the size that counts!
I love this video, thanks for making it! Saw the bagpipe last year and that was also great fun to watch.
I have a calabash gourd in low F if you ever need a veggie bass.
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.
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 ?

Potato, turnip, asperagus, black salsify, parsnip, celereac etc.; you can plunder the catalogue of forgotten vegetables for inspiration.

I can just hear my mum saying "Stop play with your food!"
Nice! I’d enjoy learning more about voicing, tuning etc recorders
That's AMAZING! I also thought that it was integral that the holes be spaced at specific distances. *mind blown here too
Oh my! I was not expecting such a great vid, thank you for this Sarah!!
This was so fun to watch. I want one now....
Far too enjoyable. Also, unexpectedly fascinating. Be warned. Probably dangerous to watch when driving.
This is awesome! I don’t agree that it doesn’t matter where the holes are. That affects tuning across octaves.
FANTASTIC!
Nice lesson Sarah.
If possible, please talk about modern recorders, like the Mollenhauer helder... Thanks!!!
Great idea!
The guy should have dyed his hair green, lol. The carrot recorders sound lovely.
Da is helemaal te gek.waar kunnen we de blokmeker kopen? Zo leuk

This is hilarious! I want to make one out of a purple carrot now. Or a Japanese daikon. 🤣
Amazing and brilliantly funny too 😂

This was great :-). I love this channel so much.
I love all your videos!!!
Great vid! So much innuendo...
And it actually sounds really nice!
1/ lets play the carrot recorder 2/ lets recycle: carrot soup
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!
7:40 I love the fact that she put a carrot there just in case
I need to try to do my very own Carrot Recorder.
Thanks Taem Recorder
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.
This is amazing. Learning some interesting stuff too :)
i love this man omg
Orange carrots come from the netherlands. those apple core removal thingeys are a dutch invention too.
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.
"Hi, I'm Sarah, and I'm a carrot player".
This is such a fun video. And I think I have a crush on Tim.
Both size and position matter.
Talk about playing with your food! I never thought about playing my food.
Sweet! Really nice video!
So cool!!!!!
Great fun!
Baroque carrot: excellent!!!
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.
One has to love a singing carrot! 💛
a professional carrot recorder! Great video!
The recorder builder guy was so cool.
You should sell the tools required in a kit! Market it to responsible adults, of course.
So interesting! Such a charming lass.
Super Cool!!! 😁
Best video ever, I was constantly waving between LMAO and WTF?!?
9:36 Can't believe I can have an eargasm out of a carrot.😂
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!

I was about to recommend this video to you
Ooh that’s cool...it actually works
thats is amazing
sounds amazing.. :)
Wow, that's something!
6:34
Tchaikovsky 4th symphony, 1st movement
how fun!
Нам очень понравилось! Сами попробуем сделать!!! Спасибо!
new level of procrastrination reached
Sweet!
He is hilarious 😂
10.13, is that a missed note? :D
was the orange shirt planned?
Haha it was not!
Mind blown
If the place of the holes doesn't matter - why do bass recorders need keys?
Bugs bunny left the chat🤣🤣
The actually made a carrot recorder. Amazing I can't belive it.
I used to do this with red vines licorice, hahaha!
❤❤❤

watching a video about a carrot recorder... thanks youtube you disclosed a new level of weirdness

I won't lie - it was terrifying! Hence the 'don't try this at home' warning :D
And is it wood or plastic
Pls wht is the name of your recorder
It’s carrot ;) Ha but the recorder in the video is wooden- it’s a voiceflute (a tenor in D) handmade by Tim
Now I'm going to have to check my Cranmore treble recorder to be certain it's made of wood.
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.

😂
So funny 😂
Now you should make a carrot out of a recorder :-)
