Hi,

First of all I would like to introduce the instrument what we played in primary school during music lessons. It is called a recorder.
All the time when in school I thought it is not something to be boast about until i saw this guy playing in his videos

I call him the god of recorder



but too bad he stop making all this great videos...

in the mean time i would like to introduce my videos too... certainly i am nowhere near the god above
just started to play some tunes on the recorder after so many years.


Please like my videos and don't forget to subscribe to my channel

wow that feller's amazing too LOL !

I think d only song i could play on a Recorder is.......Mary had a little lamb HAHAHAHA !

haha i also started with marry had a little lamb..
and slowly progress from there...


i think at schools we didn't learn all the fingering ...so alot of songs we didn't know play as we don't know how to go to the next note.

here is a fingering chart if you would like to start all over again
(editted a better fingering chart)

bumblebee

in case u missed my previous post, i mentioned i have no idea where my recorder is anymore.
that also means i havent and not bothered to touch it in so many years

fun fact.
led zep's "stairway to heaven" had recorder parts and not flute.
led zep tho are embarassed about it, so during live performances they use a mellotron to emulate those parts

wow serious?
will go and look for that song now haha

(after listening)
wow it start with the recorder

i dont think there's a flute app on iphone market right ? LOL !!

I remember playing Ocarina there

there is an recorder app on android but it's full of ads...-,-
better get a real recorder around RM10
lol

i still remember smelling all the spit from the recorder...zzz.

o.O smelling the spits? haha
ehm agreeable..

was in a marching band in secondary school so got used to the condition
lol there is a saliva draining pit on the trumpet which releases it like a water fall

can get example from american pie band camp

Wow u're quite disgusting LOL !

lucky he didn't get addicted to it

last time in school need to pinjam if forgot to bring.. full of saliva..

haha got wash first?

Here's something on the recorder for laughs! lol

had a good laugh..
but kinda of cool his expression is full of emotions

haha.. i remember all the spits too. have to drain them...

haha thanks

maybe just need to rinse with water should be ok.
but i guess since he borrow it from friend. after the friend use it he just need to directly borrow it from his friend to use it.
no time to wash also haha

we didn't think much during those days...

ahahah this piece of paper always there when buy new recorder! me and friends always have problem trying to blow the higher octave notes. closing the back hole only half is not easy. to do it accurately

Ha ha. Yeap I usually use a tape to close it half already. So if i want to play a higher octave I just open the holes. So the tape automatically acts as a half hole closed.

lol pro la u. now a days how much is a recorder ?

i think it is still around RM10 for the student type. i am not really sure yet. havent bought any new one.
i've been using the one that i used back in those primary school years.

whats d diff between student ones n professional ones?

i am not really sure also. i just know they sound better and is tuned better. it is pretty obvious when u try to play a sharp or flat key. it will sound out of tune.

but you can also use a cheap one which is not perfectly tune and try to change the positioning of the fingers to make it sound more accurate. that's what i usually do.

i bought a yamaha tenor recorder.. it is really good. cost me around RM60.
by the way the 1 we use in primary is a soprano recorder.

how to tune a recorder...

i usually what i do is pull the head out a little bit. to go to flat...
but if want to go sharp..then there is no way
can adjust as shown in the picture below

that's my way ...dunno if there is any official way to do so. never learn proper way in primary. never listen in class.
so i just do what i think sounds right to me now.

owh that part function is to tune the recorder? never know this. i just pulas to tighten it whenever i feel it becoming loose..

ehm i am not really sure if it's use to tune..
cause i am in a orchestra band..most of the instruments like the clarinet kinda of similar concept...tunes in that area too..

this is a image of a clarinet..
http://www.google.com.my/imgres?imgurl=htt...Q9QEwAg&dur=727

so i just assume it's similar haha.. it does work for me

found an interesting video of how recorder was made



enjoy

jus watched it , nice video . I've also watched how guitar and electric guitar are made

wow you're becoming a music maker master now...can make all kinds of instrument.

here's a tutorial to make your own recorder although it's easier to buy one haha :

Do you want to build a snowman


First time

Nice one. Remind me of the days I tried to get the right sound out of my recorder. Didn't know it can produce such sweet sound. Like your covers!

Remember those days.. if you forget to bring your recorder then you either stand for the next 1 hour or get caning in Music class

thanks glad that you like it

i remembered sometimes if we forget to bring it.. we have to borrow from friends lol
