@@giorgiolamborghini813I personally learned baroque flute first and by the time I got my hands on a silver flute I could play that so easily! I don’t think the reverse is always true. If your main goal is to play baroque flute I’d encourage people to just go for it.
Well done for a proto-flautist! :) I can speak from experience: it is indeed possible to divide one's passions, especially between recorder and other woodwind instruments. Go for it Sarah! I believe in you! And thank you for introducing us all to Jeff's work. Amazing!
I have one of these now from Jeff. The A440 Bizey. It’s a very nice flute indeed. It can be a dark art getting these to play in tune sometimes, but this model seems to play very easily. Great to see traversos getting some love on your channel!
Hi Sarah, finally I have been playing the Naust in 400hz by Jeff W. And finally can play that 3rd Octave F (a pain to play) and the Traverso is lovely, I am waiting for Bizei in 440/415hz Ivory 🎉 thanks for showing me such a great maker ❤
Do it Sara! Do it! Take up the traverso! I started as a recorder, player but then stopped playing for a few years. Then I picked up the traverso, which really became my main instrument, but I went back to playing the recorder, and it was great. I'm more of a traverso player that plays the recorder, but I can tell these instruments complement each other very well. There are some similarities in technique, but there are differences, but nothing that interferes with each other, like say, the oboe and the traverso, which messes up the embouchure. Hey, if Rachel Brown (fantastic traverso play from the UK) picked up the recorder, Sarah Jeffery (fantastic recorder player from the UK) can pick up the traverso. ;)
Imagine Sarah reviewing Vincent Bernolin's Traversos 🎉. I have been practicing with my Aulos Grenser (440hz) and it's lovely, and I am in love with the Traverso🎉 Will get my hands on one of those Traversos from Jeff:)
I think it was smart of Mr Wulf not to go head to head with the superb 440Hz Grenser and 415Hz Stanesby Junior that Aulos make. I bought the Stanesby on a whim at half price, 200$ and it just blows my mind how easy and clear it is to play. And, because it's so heavy, it doesn't feel like a plastic flute (unlike the Grenser).
These are beautiful flutes and the prices seem really good. Bravo to the maker. I’d probably buy a Quantz or Hotteterre model if they made one. Only because I already own a Naust and plastic aulos traverso based on Grenser.
The challenge is playing the concert flute in the third octave. I play both the concert and fife flutes, but only within the first two octaves. BTW: If I can split my passion between the recorder and 19 other instruments (woodwind, brass, strings and percussion) - you certainly can with two or three, professor. Happy fluting! 😊🎶 BTW: Professor, you're not giving yourself enough credit. You play several instruments to include the concert flute and the tin whistle and perhaps the Native American flute. 🤔
I have a Wulf flute and having lots of fun with it. But.... I think recorders are more in tune, and more versatile in playing a variety of keys. Somehow the traverso has way more compromises when it comes to anything not in their "native" key. Btw, Wulf's prices are incredible for what you get. A wooden flute is at least 4 times that.
Absolutely. Tuning is enormously challenging on the traverso. Those F naturals and B flats are the stuff of nightmares. I guess a possible approach is to simply embrace it? It's not meant to be an equal temperament instrument anyway :) Edit: one key advantage of the traverso over the recorder is that you can do a lot more with the top range. No need to stop the end hole to produce the highest pitches, and unlike the recorder, you can make those notes sound very soft and delicate.
@@bdiethelmv Yeah, you basically roll in for F, roll out for F# (more so in the lower register) .. but the Wulf flute has been carefully balanced so it's the correct amount of "out of tune" both ways. :) In the wulf flutes, most of the cross-fingered odd notes (G#, Bb) play in tune or vary close.
Stick with the traversos, Sarah. They'll widen your scope of musical possibilities, and inform your early music in general. I can understand you not keeping up the bassoon, but I think you should choose one of those traversos and hang on to it 👍 Be bold!
I bought a Renaissance Traverso from Kobliczek at the "Blockflöten-Festtage" this year. I try to teach myself. I am looking forward to the day I will make the Instrument "sing"
Very interesting, I wonder if he builds a model by Carlo Palanca who built flutes with a very high sound volume, or a Quantz model; I'll go and look at the site.
As a flute player with a passing interest in the traverso, this is really exciting. Sadly, I don't think I'm in a financial position to buy one this month while the deal's on, but I'll see what they're going for when I'm feeling a little more financially stable. Maybe I'll get one then.
it sounds a bit high-pitched than a regular concert flute, I believe you absolutely can split your passions between the recorder and the flute. I don't just play one instrument, I'm not a professional, just an amateur.
I have a bernolin too. I am dreadful. My face has lost a lot of muscle power for a good embouchureq. I have MS. It has hurt my musicianship so much. I used to make a great sound on a silver flute. I can't do it now. I hate MS.
Michael Lynn is my traverso teacher, and he speaks very highly of these 3D printed traversi by Wulf -- and that's VERY high praise coming from him! BTW, Naust is pronounced "nohst."
What is the range of these traversos? I don't expect it to be the three octaves of the modern ones but I might be wrong? Anyway they sounded beautiful, I think I prefer the Tortochot because it sounded fuller and darker. P.S. I will not buy them... I already struggle with finding time for my recorder and my piano practice... I don't need a third instrument, I don't... ... ... ...
Looks like being very good instruments for those who want to approach baroque flute, expecially for the price point. Why not fully going into doubling on flutes? It's always nice to have an additional set of skills ready to be used.
They are excellent flutes for getting into it! and yes, maybe I should book myself a doubling gig for in a years time to give me something to aim towards 😁
Neither, it uses Traverso fingerings. :) Some what like modern flute, but with no "b" key you have some adjustments there and with F, Ab, Bb, etc. It's a switch, but not a killer to go from silver to Traverso.
Okay so I was just getting over my "I want to play the traverso" phase and then Sarah drops this video and I'm back where I started.
Same here... 😂
For me it is better to start with the modern flute.
Dooooo ittttt 😄

I have one! Great for outdoor playing (indestructable) a nice quiet play
Couple playing though linked arms was adorable.

As Sarah was unboxing them, how many of us immediately thought that someone sent her several lightsabers? Nobody? Just me? Okay.
these flutes look so cool and smooth
you become better and better at playing instruments with out becs x')
I believe, no matter what you do, you will progress and play beautifully. You always do. I also love hearing Jon and you play together. ❤ 🎶
Its nice to see recorder players play flute too
So great to have you back! Those are beautiful traversos!
They are!

OMG Sarah and a new traverso video! ♥
🥰
How lovely camera shot. 9:45
Hey Sarah! Awesome video. As someone else noted, Vincent Bernolin sells resin traversos. I'd love to learn how they compare to Jeff Wulf's flutes.
Imagine Sarah reviewing Vincent Bernolin's Traversos 🎉.
I have been practicing with my Aulos Grenser (440hz) and it's lovely, and I am in love with the Traverso🎉

I would love to see a range of renaissance traversos in plastic and please make the big ones!!! Also someone needs to make baroque piccolo in plastic.

I got a rosewood tenor recorder so there you go. I absolutely love the tenor recorder! Some of the fingerings even match the flute a little bit.

the first one sounds really nice 😮

I like those flutes.
Jon's not a flautist. We can hear the difference. He catches on fast . You two are so lucky.
Dude! Love those specs 😊
Jon is buying a second pair as we speak 😄
it sounds a bit high-pitched than a regular concert flute, I believe you absolutely can split your passions between the recorder and the flute. I don't just play one instrument, I'm not a professional, just an amateur.
Vincent Bernolin makes resin traversos, too!
I think I want to get one of these kind of flutes
I'm pretty sure Tortochot is a Miyazaki movie…
wow that sound that you played togheter sounder super similar to a final fantasy song!(in some parts)
Ahh I love me some Final Fantasy! (check out Recorder Arcade in youtube for some proper FF recorder covers 😄)
@@Team_Recorder awesome thanks! The song i recall is ff ix called a place to call home.
My thoughts of the flutes is that they have sexy low notes.
I have a bernolin too. I am dreadful. My face has lost a lot of muscle power for a good embouchureq. I have MS. It has hurt my musicianship so much. I used to make a great sound on a silver flute. I can't do it now. I hate MS.
@@katrineroberts4084 They have. They have very shiny and powerful high ones too.

uh oh, I think I need one.
I think you do too

Traverso fingering charts generally go up to A- 3 octaves above middle C.
3d printed serpent horn next
Serpents are so cool! They need a big revival.
I saw a video of one on UA-cam!
oh yes PLEASE
There are files to print two different serpents from the Bate collection. An Anon and a Dittes.
I WANT ONE !!! :--D

I'm confused. Does the Traversos use the same fingerings as a regular C-flute, or does it use recorder fingerings?
It has its own fingerings. It also needs adjustments (turning flute in/out) to be in tune.
Neither, it uses Traverso fingerings. :) Some what like modern flute, but with no "b" key you have some adjustments there and with F, Ab, Bb, etc. It's a switch, but not a killer to go from silver to Traverso.
:)) thank you both still making my heart smile over the years very cool! GOD Bless you all!
where is the like button?
Flute?? QUEEEEE was ist
Thats cheaper than the bernolin.
There is something disturbing for me at a visceral level about seeing you play anything but a recorder.
