i bought a treble recorder from an online charity shop. When it turned up it was an aulos tenor. This wonderful piece has inspired me to move onto tenor when I have improved on the treble. I have started lessons again aged 67 having last played descant 59 years ago so a lot to learn but its SUCH fun....
I play tenor recorder too. I'm going to try raising my eyebrows on the high notes as you do. Funny, I know singers do that, but I never thought to try it on recorder.
Beautiful. Just started learning, after a LONG time since the elementary school recorder! I now have more inspiration. Was just clicking around, found this, immediately subscribed! Really good stuff!
@@faisalthakur3152 Thanks, you too! I restarted my attempt at this on a tenor, physical issues make fingering difficult at best, so am now window shopping sopranos (ironic, eh?!) for easier reach. Yamaha makes good self-teach books, fyi. Simon's videos (he has a few out) inspire/motivate me to try try try....
@@faisalthakur3152 Hi, thank you for your message. The best way is to learn off UA-cam. Learn the fingering first by playing very simple tunes. This will also teach you how to read music etc. Play pieces you know, perhaps children's songs you learnt etc. You will soon pick it up 😁👍
It is funny Because the school district Makes everyone play the recorder in grade school... Making it the last instrument Anyone would ever want to pick up on their own I played the trumpet for years That was my instrument of choice But it wasn't until I became an adult completely Being in my forties That I decided to pick up the recorder By choice Only to realize how beautiful it really sounds... My point is The school district Needs to find another instrument Because they are distracting The recorders True beauty They make no one want to pick one up by choice
Okay so I bought a tenor today and thought it would be fairly easy, having played the saxophone for many years. Turns out it wasnt. It is very hard just to hold the tune. So this guy is more awesome than i first realized. Now back to practising.
Awesome, man. I want to get one of these so badly, but I don't dare because I need to be practicing Native American Flute. I make ones that are reasonably polyphonic if you half hole the first hole. When I hear what a couple customers play it puts me to shame. They have all kinds of extended scales that are very easy, above and beyong the pentatonic minor that's their immediate, primary tuning.

Hi Simon. I have just been gifted an Aulos tenor recorder and I have managed to work out a couple of tunes, but would love some instruction as to how to play The Sound of Silence. I haven't played recorder since I was a kid, but I play viola so I do have some musical grounding (with string instruments but not with woodwind). Anyhow, any hints as to how to play this tune would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and hey, you really get a quality sound out of that thing. Nice one!
Great job Sir!I know that You play the western concert flute as well.Please tell me is the western transversal flute more difficult to learn than a tenor recorder?Kind regards from Bulgaria.
@@simoncorser8083 cheers.. my plastic tenor is unplayable.. full of condensation/spit after a couple of bars.. have a vintage wooden Adler.. sounds lovely.. but after a wooden tenor with low C# bidding on one at the moment 🤟😎
@@simoncorser8083 hi Mr Simon Corser.I been watching your flute cover already..im your number one fan Rommel Revilla from the Philippines..that instrument is really difficult to find here in my country..that is one of my dream.a dream to have have a flute like aulos 511b..hope you will grant my wish.thank you and Godbless
Hi! I appreciate I’m a bit later viewing this video , but just wanted to say how beautiful your rendition sounds. Are you able to provide the sheet music for this at all please? ( hope im not being cheeky in asking!)
Thank you for your thoughts. Vibrato can be a controversial topic. The French flute tradition use a lot of vibrato. Whereas the German and English tended to use a lot less. I've carried my vibrato over from my flute playing 😊
Mir hätte es mit dem reinen, erdigen Klang der Blockflöte bald besser gefallen als mit diesem übertriebenen Hall einer Kathedrale. Es ist sicher Geschmacksache, aber mir kommt es vor wie ein „Selfie beauty Filter“ für die Ohren. Gleichwohl toll gespielt. Ich mag das gleichmäßige Vibrato der langen Töne und hoffe, es ist echt und nicht auch elektronisch nachbearbeitet… 😉

Hi,
I would go straight to the Tenor 👍
This song translates so beautifully to the tenor recorder! Great job!
Thanks
It sure does!
Beautifully haunting.
My favorite Recorder is the Tenor Recorder, such heavenly sounds.
That was absolutely beautiful! You played so well! Well done!

The echo is computer generated of course, but I think it works quite well 😊.
Enjoy playing 👍

Great job! I just purchased the same recorder and am loving playing it. BTW...Do you use a thumb rest?
Yes, I use the plastic thumb rest 😊👍
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome!!! What is the model of recorder?
Aulos 511B
Very interesting Irish jig 😅
Beautiful rendition
Do you give tutorials 🤔
Thanks. What did you want help with in terms of a tutorial?
Wow, its so Beautiful! .. Could you write down the notes?🥹

@@simoncorser8083can I have it as well???
It is really great sound, what micro do You use?
On that recording I was just using my phone 👍
Great job Sir!I know that You play the western concert flute as well.Please tell me is the western transversal flute more difficult to learn than a tenor recorder?Kind regards from Bulgaria.
Hi, Yes, the flute is a lot more difficult than the recorder.
If you play low C and C#, would the clicking sound of the plastic key be loud enough to be picked up by the mic setup you have here?
If you're careful you can use the c key with no noticeable sound. I find the c sharp one more difficult. But c sharp is rare. Thanks for watching 👍
Beautiful tone and beautifully played. Can I ask what number Aulos? Would like to order one. Thanks
Hi, glad you enjoyed it.
I used an Silos 511B E.
May God bless you.
Sounds cool.. What effects are you using is that a plastic recorder
Hi, I add reverb using Audacity. Yes it's plastic 👍

Fantastic job! What did you use to record the instrument? A microphone? Thanks again.
Thanks. For that video I just used my phone 👍
Wow then the acoustics of that room are amazing! I was certain you were using some guitar pedal reverb box or something.

Yes.
Aulos 511B. E
A beautiful instrument. Worth every penny 👍

Wow bravo... Where I can get the music... ?How do u make the vibrato.....?
Hi
Thanks for your comments.
Music can be found online.
I made a video on vibrato recently 😊👍
@@simoncorser8083 i
It was flawless! ..... in the notes. But you should have had a metronom in your ear. I could hear you drift away.
What do you do to get the vibration in the tone?
It's called vibrato. I did a video on it 😊👍
Hi! I appreciate I’m a bit later viewing this video , but just wanted to say how beautiful your rendition sounds. Are you able to provide the sheet music for this at all please? ( hope im not being cheeky in asking!)
Hi,
I found the music online 😄👍
Thank you! I will have a look!
Maybe a little bit too much vibrato? It's meant to be an ornamentation, not a constant movement. But I like your choice of melody and insfrument😍
Thank you for your thoughts. Vibrato can be a controversial topic. The French flute tradition use a lot of vibrato. Whereas the German and English tended to use a lot less. I've carried my vibrato over from my flute playing 😊
Nepal tharu
do you have a music sheet for this song?
I just found it on the internet 👍
I've always wanted to have this recorder but cant find one. Where can i purchase one??
I got mine online 😊👍
Hi, can I have ask? Are you happy with aulos flute? I wanna buy some tenor flute but i don't know if is better yamaha or aulos. Thank you!
I was recommended Aulos.
Maybe see if you can try both, then decide 😊👍

Very nice, but there is far too much reverb.
Hi, Yes, reverb seems a personal thing. Some like it, others not.
I think some of my later videos use less reverb 👍
What monster disliked this!? 😭
