I think AuLoS303 should find that out for himself, too, just to confirm the point. And besides, I wanna see duct tape.Peter Duggan wrote:But don't expect matching these to make it better because they still don't belong together!
Recorders have a reverse conical bore. Even so it would be interesting to see how a recorder with a straight bore would sound.

The point is that masses and masses of whistles also have a conical bore. But they don't sound like recorders - they sound like whistles. And, as has been pointed out above by someone more knowledgeable than me, it's not the bore (or, at any rate, not principally the bore) that creates the recorder-like sound of a recorder.AuLoS303 wrote:Recorders have a reverse conical bore.

No! Do you know why I said the baroque recorder has a complex conical (reverse-tapered) bore? Have you tried Googling recorder cylindrical bore? No, didn't think so...AuLoS303 wrote:Recorders have a reverse conical bore. Even so it would be interesting to see how a recorder with a straight bore would sound. Whistle-like?
Not in all cases.Peter Duggan wrote:The Reed Trombone, mixing brass and woodwind mouthpieces
The Tromboon! Bassoon and Trombone mashup
Plenty of tape in use here, but take heed of Trent Hamilton when he says at the end of the first of these videos:
'So I guess after all these experiments the conclusion that we must draw is that, when you're playing one of these instruments, whether it be a baritone or a trombone or a sax or a clarinet or whatever, the mouthpiece that you should best use just so happens to be the one that they've been using all along.'
Absolutely he's right. Eddie Harris stands alone.Peter Duggan wrote:As a general rule, for most of us playing most things, I'd still say he's right. Whatever you think of his playing, which I'd concede is not always great.
.No, it's not. See what Nano said:Sedi wrote:This is exactly what Yamaha has been doing with the Venova
And consider that again.Nanohedron wrote:A big mistake is to look at a woodwind and say, "It's just a tube with holes; can't be that big of a deal."
It doesn't appear to be when he's specifically asking about shuffling bits he's got already. The topic is 'Converting a recorder into a chalumeau' and Yamaha haven't converted a recorder into a chalumeau, so not surprising I misunderstood you.Sedi wrote:if that's what the OP wants
