C & F for Re***der?

I did’t want to use such foul language in a topic. My question is do Recorder players have a C & F type website?

Yes. It’s called The Session (dot org). :wink:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Nano, behave!

Ohh! Pbffft. Nevermind.

No, however
8notes.com has a recorder forum…
http://www.8notes.com/f/forum44.asp

Not nearly as much fun, but there’s this:

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/recorder/

The people are quite helpful there, but there doesn’t seem to be the family feeling that I get on C&F

Yeah, what Paul said. There’s also this Yahoo group with more newbies.

With the recent proliferation of new C&F forums, how 'bout one for the re****der. We can take the abuse.

WMP!

That is a good idea.

I think you recorder players should stand up for yourselves! Start by spelling the word out with all its letters—recorder. See, I’m still alive! :laughing: You could bold the letters, make them red. Assert yourselves! Go forth confidently! You will not earn respect by cowering behind asterisks. Proclaim the name of your instrument proudly!
RECORDER

:laughing:
okay where is the emoticon for mass snickering?

Now some recorder player should come along and let you have it. Where are they? I don’t even play the recorder and I’m holding the fort here all alone. :laughing:

Naw! 'got three of the buggers… I can hold my own!

I’ll smack’em with the tenor…the other two are fairly good.

I was just curious I do not play Recorder myself but I play lots of other stuff. I thought is there a parallel universe where Recorder players make fun of Whistle players saying that they are immature (pronouncue with a strong “t” sound) and not sophisticated enough to play a “real” instrument. Like the opposite of what we say about them.

Ha ha! Im mah TOUR!

Could be such a place, I’ll warrant.

Are you sure they’ve discovered the internet, though?

now, now
no reason to be fussy…just 'cause they can read music

whistler’s chromatic jealousy

:smiley:

What they don’t know is that I can read music and I would like to see a recorder player transpose a tune in C on to a C Whsitle (ie reading the music as a C being a C).

I was going to say “don’t they already have a forum? The whistle forum…” but then I looked at it and noticed no debates on double tonguing, triple tonguing, arpeggios, the relative differences between boxwood and pear wood, and whether baroque fingering was superior to German! Oh the fun!

I daren’t make pejorative remarks about recorder players because (a) such a person used to come to our session (b) he’s a very big man (c) you never know who’s lurking around these lists under strange noms-de-plume (d) Steve Shaw is my real name and he’ll know who I am and he knows where I live. That’s why I’m not posting to this thread. :astonished:
