#wind instruments

I have a full modern consort, (from smallest) Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass (also called the bassett). The smallest, the Soprano, is the one most people play in school. (or at least, it's the one I played in middle school)

the larger ones are kinda my babies, they were all in very poor condition when I got them, and even so it took me a long time to find wooden recorders of larger sizes that I could afford.

The bass was in horrible condition, it had a giant dust bunnies in it and disintegrating cork, and it's still missing it's breath tube, so I play it with the cap off, which is not the most comfortable.

I had to replace the keywork on both the Tenor and Bass, and remove damaged finish from the Tenor and Alto. the Tenor had lipstick stains that didn’t come off until I stripped the varnish. the Alto was just a very cheep varnish, not instrument grade, and an ugly flat brown which completely hid the beautiful dark wood the instrument was made from.

I also installed comfort extensions on the first keys of the Bass and Tenor, because I have very short pinkies

In my latest video ( youtu.be/piwt1amXNdU ) I am playing the three largest, (Alto, Tenor, and Bass, but mostly the Bass), and then filling harmony with the (free!) BBC symphony plugin from spitfire www.spitfireaudio.com/en-us/product... ) (I think I used an oboe and some horns). I'm playing all the trills and tremolo parts, because the plugin can't do those, and the very first lines heard in the piece are the bass recorder

I am so sorry I never answered this 😭😭😭

If ur asking for advice on playing harmonica? I have none, I've only ever played 3 wind instruments and I find them very difficult

If you're asking for advice on making yt videos, that I can help with. Most important thing is for YOU to be satisfied with the videos before you post them, as cliché as that sounds. And you can do your videos however you want, you don't have to follow a specific format, they are just suggestions.

Don't get discouraged if you don't get much interaction or engagement, the music industry & online content creation are very over saturated industries, there are just so so so many people out there and algorithms are rigged up so whatever makes them the most money will be pushed the hardest. So when you're just making videos for the art itself and not money, you're most likely gonna be drowned out, and that's okay! Getting just one nice comment feels like a huge achievement.

They saying I’ve not logged in here for four years?? Sorry !

Swabs for wind instruments. The piccolo is very thin and regular cloth will not fit. So I used to use thin gauze for the piccolo, but it became old, so I replaced it. The material is the same as household gauze. There are suitable size of swabs for each wind instrument.
