@cinderbutte What brand of tenor recorder is that? I love your music, very beautiful! who says recorders are just kids toys...

[cinderbutte]

@cooltobeme91 Thanks! They're definitely not just for kids. My tenor is a Dolmetsch.

I want you to know that you cost me a bunch of money! I was so inspired and in awe after playing your tenor recorder videos that I had order one! It's such a beautiful, mellow sound, and you are such a pro! You make it sound both elegant and haunting. Thank you so much for posting your performances!

@Wombat1420 Glad you are inspired!

the echo matches fine with the winter theme, the solitude of the recorder with this effect was exactly what I was looking for to listen while watching icy winter photograpies - thank you, it was a real pleasure.

@puzzledwls Thank, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[cinderbutte]

Thanks your honesty, and I love the sheep comment, LOL!

I appreciate the classical style of recorder playing but I am not a classical musician, I'm a folk musician who plays some classical tunes. No one ever taught me to play, I've just echoed what I've heard, and somehow I play a thousand-plus songs and improvise at will. While I can play without vibrato, I sometimes just let 'er rip because it feels good. I'm not performing to meet anyone's standards except my own.

nice vibrato.

Absolutely beautiful.  A favorite piece played on a favorite instrument. Thank you for sharing this.

Far too much echo/reverb....oh dear

[StudioOfDah]

Sometimes I agree that recorders must be taken out of school, maybe that way they recover the respect they deserve
