  • Very nice. Recorder (as we oddly call it in the U.S.) was my first instrument (I got my degree in Clarinet). In college I played at Colonial Williamsburg on the English Flute (which is what the recorder was called in America in the 18th Century). I have 3 recorders; a sopranino, soprano, and an alto. The year my college went on a music tour in Scotland I got to play a beautiful wood tenor (I like the sound of the tenor best).

  • @earthshinemusic4u Hi, and thank you for the comments :-) Isabella still plays her "English Flute" (thank you for the term!) once in a while - she plays the left hand on her piano and the right with the "flute" (I just don't like calling it a recorder, lol). We've really got to get some more up-to-date videos done...

  • lol, folks, a controversary around my little kiddo's little video isn't really what we were looking for here. It's completely irrelevant if you want to call it a recorder. We don't live in the US and where we live, this simple instrument is called a Block Flute, so that's what I titled her videos the way I did....

  • it looks more like a clarinet

  • lol, ok, if you like.... I'm sure Isabella would be happy to hear that as she tried out the clarinet for a few weeks, but moved to piano instead :o)

  • im sorry to tell you but that is not a flute its a recorder

  • Sorry but in German it's called a Blockflöte, a Block Flute. Why anyone ever decided to call it a "Recorder" is beyond me... Regardless of what it's erroneously called in english, it's still a type of flute. But thanks anyway.

  • Is that a recorder??

  • Very well done. I guess Flight of the Bumblebee is out of the question? Keep up the good work.

  • It's a recorder. Trust me, I'm a flute player and flute is a horizontally played instrument.

  • i agree with alcproduction

  • I agree with you effzee, recorder is a funny name. In French we call it «une flute soprano» a soprano flute. There is a slightly larger model called «une flute alto» an alto flute.
