Recorder improv

 A little something I came up with ages ago when I was learning clarinet, played on my Aulos Haka alto recorder, bending a note by slowly uncovering a fingerhole.

Ronde by Susato

 A Ronde by Susato from the Brian Bonsor alto book I've been working through forever! Played on my Aulos Haka alto. Practising playing high A properly, changing a bad habit where I would lift the thumb and just overblow. Also I must look for more of Susato's music.

Aulos v Sigo

 A little comparison of my Aulos 211 tenor to my Sigo tenor. Big size difference yet the same tonal range.

Amazing

Aulos Haka alto

Happy Bicentennary Strauss!

 A special anniversary today. On this day 200 years ago Johann Strauss II, the father of dance music, was born.

My mini tribute, on alto recorder.

New instrument, Aulos Pipit

 Got this yesterday, £6 from Vinted.

Its called a Fife but its more like a keyless piccolo in C.

Revisiting the soprano

 I began playing the soprano recorder in 2016 and I made my way through most of The School Recorder book 1. After a while I moved onto the alto and tenor and the little sop sat collecting dust. Till now!

Warm up exercise

A little F scale warmup exercise thing I came up with on my Aulos Haka alto, straying into the second octave. Not to be attempted on soprano or sopranino. Definitely not on garklein 😋

Of course it was a lot smoother when not recording...🔴

Brian Bonsor double

 Two pieces from the Brian Bonsor book From Descant to Treble, book 1

Go Tell it on the Mountain and Suzie Little Suzie 

Father Halpin's Topcoat

 On my Aulos tenor recorder, then on my Clarke Sweetone whistle in D

The Saucy Sailor

 A piece in the Brian Bonsor book I've been working through for like ever.

First a comparison between the CarryOn EWI I have, set to alto recorder, and the Aulos Haka alto.

Then the piece played through on the Haka, with a repeat and my own coda

Exercise 51 on the Haka

 Played on my new Aulos Haka alto.

Definitely a better instrument than the Yamaha!

A better alto

 Bought myself a Aulos 'Haka' alto recorder. I already have an alto, the Yamaha YRS312B but it clogs constantly and is very delicate on the low notes.

This Aulos seems much better, more stable with more room for air, and it doesn't clog, so far...

Cader Idris

 A beautiful piece in the recorder book called Cader Idris (a town in Wales).

Aulos 303

The Harp that once through Tara's Halls

 An old Irish folk tune in the School Recorder book. First I played it on the soprano. I was informed I should play it slower, so I played it again but on the alto.

Der Meyen 2 ways

 A Swiss folk song played on piano, then on soprano recorder.

Tenor play

 Some pieces played on my Aulos tenor recorder including 2 pieces of my own, and the Bach Passion chorale.

All Through the Night x2

 A lovely piece in the School Recorder book 1.

First I learned it on my Aulos tenor recorder...

Then on piano, making up my own left hand part.

Ukraine National Anthem x2

 First on my Aulos 211 tenor...

Then on Clara, making up my own left hand part. 

Edelweiss
