$10 vs. $1000 recorder! | Team Recorder

Putting $10 and a $1000 recorder through their paces! What's the difference, and is the price difference worth it? Maybe I'll b convinced to give up my concert instrument for a blue plastic one 😜

In this video I play on:
- blue transparent Yamaha soprano YRS-20BB
- satinwood Denner concert edition soprano by Mollenhauer
(prices rounded into dollars as I bought them in euros, like ages ago)

It's quite interesting to hear what one of those elementary school recorders sounds like when played by someone who actually knows how to play the recorder.

[Nahelus]

Platic one: memories of childhood torture in music class in school.
Wooden one: Frodo, Bilbo and i smoking from a pipe in a beautiful forest.

[conradgittins]

As a violin maker I can see that it is pretty clear that you get a better deal with a $10 recorder than a cheap violin.

“My non-recorder player husband”
The husband: *completely shreds a folk song better than I can play three blind mice*

[alicewyan]

Of course, the wooden instrument sounds a lot nicer, but I'm quite impressed with what a $10 instrument can do, and it fares pretty decently at folk music!

[malachitobias]

I've lived 51 years and never knew how crisp, sweet and beautiful a recorder could sound. Loved it.

[questionablepans]

As an elementary music teacher I love seeing the recorder done some justice because we all know that's not my daily reality

[dawggyd]

I had no idea these were meant to sound good.

[kamilo]

It's really cool to see an actual professional recorder player. I never actually thought of the recorder as a serious instrument, I suppose that the fact that it's pretty much used in every school in existance to teach music didn't help, it's refreshing to see its just as a beautiful instrument as any other

[ziomatthewmusic]

Infinitely better than a $10 piano at least.

[yesbabyyes]

This is the least depressed I've ever seen anyone look while playing a recorder.

[bobblowhard]

The $1, 000 wood recorder certainly sounds sweeter, but for my budget, the $10 one sounds perfectly fine.

[anicaaaaaa]

I refuse to believe that these beautiful sounds are made from a recorder that screeches like a dying goose when I play them

[carloszancajosanchez]

7:52 We weren't bad at playing the recorder at school, we were playing contemporary modern music.

[idk-kimn]

Sara: let’s get out my non professional husband

John: absolutely kills it on the recorder

[McMerlin]

Recorders are actually really beautiful instruments. It’s too bad school ruined my recorder experiences 😂

[qjellyyy]

While her husband was playing the cheap recorder i was thinking "aww shes looking at him with so much love in her eyes" and then when he played the concert recorder she looked at the recorder the whole time with the same look lmao

[Gutch]

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a professional recorder players. I just thought elves who live in trees of enchanted forests play recorder.

[Loungemermaid]

I was today years old when I learned that recorders are actual instruments and not just cheap things they use to teach kids to read music

[aralverson]

Day 3 in quarantine: I never knew there were $1000 recorders until today.
