Finally! How have I not had Moeck tenors on here yet?? Meet my newest recorder - the Moeck Ehlert modern tenor. I give it a good testing, plus a comparison with my Yamaha tenor as well as some earlier models. And the question - if we can make loud, dynamic recorders with a large range now, why couldn't builders back then..?
/// INSTRUMENTS
In this video I play:

AaA LETS TAKEvA MOMENT TO APRECIATE HER!

@heathermcdougall8023 Год назад

sarah, when I was about 6 and a half, my British Infant school did some aural tests, on all of those who wanted to learn to play the recorder. I was chosen. They gave us an old Dolmetch plastic recorder and an ancient recorder book. I misheard and thought we had to learn the whole book in a week, instead of only the first exercise. I remember crying because it was so hard, but I did it. The next week I told the recorder teacher Ihad learnt the whole book. I was disbelieved u til I played the last few pages of tunes. Then my mother was called up the school and was demanded to admit I had played before. When they realized I hadn't they knew there was an unusual talent on thier hands. I went on to become a professional musician. It all started with a cheap, plastic recorder.

@Team_Recorder Год назад

Wow! That’s an incredible story!

@davidbenefiel9289 Год назад

That sounds like a typical teacher, afraid of being outshined by one of the students, even in elementary school.

@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 Год назад

I'm really fascinated by recorders, and what a skilled musician can make them do. I annoys me what a disservice, most school recorders have done to the reputation of such a nice instrument.

@kishascape 10 месяцев назад

Nah I do fine with my $10 soprano. It's just everyone sounds terrible when first starting. I could pick up a violin and do far worse.

@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 10 месяцев назад

@@kishascape I wasn't tasking about the physical instruments used in school, but the consequences after they were forcefully used in school. Too many people associate recorders with what they remember from school. When a full class is forced to play, most of them don't have the motivation to work on the sound quality. I'm annoyed that school administrations chose to use recorders in class, only because of the price/student for instruments. They didn't consider how difficult it is to make them sound nice without motivation, and how awful the sound can be if you play poorly. They probably neither consider the steep learning curve caused by the need to learn the finger placement for each note. I'm pretty sure the definitely didn't consider how using it in school would give an instrument as "something everyone can play, but is awful", while it's more difficult to play well than most think, I know some schools have switched to melodica. It's still difficult to make a nice sound, but at least there's a 1:1 relationship between the keys and the notes. Using an instrument with a 12-tone equal temperament gives the students something extra, to visualize the distance between the relationship between the notes in a useful way. I'm annoyed about schools only using cost savings to choose an instrument, not considering if the instrument is good for learning, learning about music, or if it's actually too difficult to play "well enough".

@douglasboyle6544 Год назад

Congratulations Professor! And yes by all means get a recorder maker to discuss the physics of what makes a recorder do what it does!

@TarunoNafs Год назад

It does look so much bigger than a regular tenor! And it's fascinating to see instrument makers continuosly improving on classic designs. I recently read a book about the "viola alta", a sort of improved viola designed by Hermann Ritter, a German. It was once popular in the late 19th century but is now lost in history. Its sound is deeper, louder and cleaner than a viola, and it could fit five strings. Appearantly there were pieces composed with this instrument in mind, and today the parts are replaced by the viola, thus those pieces suddenly become super difficult to play! I don't know if these modern tenors would survive, but hopefully with musicians like you who love playing them, and composers who would write for them, their existence will be well documented and they will be passed onto future recorder lovers.

@RenVasTerul Год назад

Hi Sarah! The pitches are the same despite different lengths beacuse the inner diameter of the flutes differ :) In fact theres more factors (diameter of fingerholes and their angle, position and construction of the fipple etc), but in that case this is the most obvious one. Its all about them diameters and air pressure ;) Cheers!

I absolutely love my Moeck Ehlert tenor. Keep up the wonderful good work you do.

Inspired by your video, I purchased a Moeck Ehlert soprano in boxwood. I'm still playing it in, but very impressed so far. I also have a Mollenhauer Modern soprano. I have a bit of difficulty with the keys on the Mollenhauer, so that's one reason I wanted to try the Moeck. I'm liking it so far.

I haven't a slither of a doubt that you'll be a superlative and inspiring professor of music. I suppose you'll be no stranger to the Eurostar now! So, heartfelt congratulations!

Personally I preferred the sound of your old Yamaha to the new Moeck. To my ear, while the sound was “bigger” volume wise, I found the tonality of it a bit thin. The Yamaha sounded much richer to me.

@WombatSlug Год назад

Wow! Congratulations on the new post! They couldn’t have chosen better! I (obviously) need to study more about recorders. I was surprised when you said it was a 442. I’m used to tuning all my instruments (they’re not recorders) to 440. I’m more in the folk realm, though. I’ve heard historically that instruments were tuned higher, so I’m guessing this shouldn’t surprise me.

@davidbenefiel9289 Год назад

It is the groupthink insanity of the European pitch arms race, increasing the standard a from 440 to 442. How long until we see 444 or higher? I pity the oboe players and the vocalists. I have to ad joint spacers to my Kung instruments to play with the rest of my ensemble.

@DrWoodwind5 Год назад

Congrats on your new academic position! That does sound like a great tenor. One of the first things I saw, though, was the markedly “off-set” left-hand ring finger-like an off-set G on a modern transverse Boehm flute. I’m no recorder expert like you, but don’t recall that on any tenor I’ve seen before, or instruments you’ve shown; is that common? I imagine the larger upper bore of the Moeck Ehlert would make that off-set a welcome feature. Glad to see you’re back making videos again! I’ve learned a lot from them!

@Team_Recorder Год назад

It is to ease the hand position, I think. I have it on good authority (recorder maker Tim Cranmore) that you can actually place the holes pretty much anywhere - the tuning is done with the size and angle of each hole. So an offset G hole on a big tenor is very welcome!

@estergaleotenadal5870 Год назад

@LuSa17 Год назад

Hi, I asked Sarah the same question a year ago. She answered that IT would be difficult to get them all together. So I went to "Blockflötenfesttage Bad Kissingen" (I am from Germany) and tried them all. My opinion: - modern Mollenhauer alto: In the modern voicing it sounds like a flute, but I love the recorder sound. The barock voicing is okay but I did not have a "Wow-Effect". The high notes speakes easily but they are not so loud as I expected. - The Eagle Ganassi alto Made by Adriana Breukink: IT is definitive a sound I can say: "Wow, Wow, Wow!!!!" but: The high notes speakes very, very difficult! So you have to train a lot to play very well. And you need a lot of air! - The Moeck Ehlert alto: It sounds much better than the modern Mollenhauer and the high notes speakes easily too. I think it is louder than the modern Mollenhauer and It is cheeper. - My choose: I bought a recorder handmade by Hammann (Kobliczek-Instrumentenbau): Itis the Praetorius alto which looks like a ganassi recorder but is played with barock fingerings and a pitch from 442 Hz. It is loud and the high notes speakes very, very easily! I choosed It in red plumwood. It sounds and looks like "Wow". Ithas no keys and costs 640 € and is also much cheeper than all the other recorders! You can get it in several different woods and in two variations of mouthpieces. I choosed the thinner one, because with this the high notes speakes so easy! It is my "dream recorder"! 🙂 Greetings from Germany! Anke

That is a lovely tenor. I have been trying to make a tenor better than my Moeck Rondo (not a big step). Importing boxwood to New Zealand is difficult, so all my efforts to date have been made from Rimu, an Australasian red pine. Although the tone is good, it does not approach the tone of boxwood.
