I have recorded another video<\/a>, this time introducing my three tenor recorders that aren’t made of wood. As always, I have put the subtitles of said video here<\/a>, so you can read them without watching the video or translate them into any language you want. I’ve made a German translation so you don’t have to. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, I’m playing my Thomann tenor recorder which is the cheapest in the collection, around 30 euros. It was the first ever tenor recorder I bought. I wanted to see whether I liked it and how my fingers would cope with the wider distance. It worked quite well and after a while, a wooden Mollenhauer tenor moved it (but that’s another story). Then I read that the Aulos Robin is quite comfortable to play, so I ordered one. It’s around 80 euros and doesn’t have a double key for hole no. 7 like the Thomann, but double holes throughout. I find it fairly easy to play and so it has become my „go to“ tenor since it also fits in the bag I have for my Low Whistles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then the Sigo by Kunath was announced and of course I had to order one and after a long wait, it arrived and there’s a video<\/a> and a short blog post<\/a> with the subtitles, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sigo is the most expensive of the three, currently at 139 euros, but the fingers don’t have to stretch wider than with a standard alto, so playing is really relaxed and I also like the sound. It looks a bit less than a tenor recorder which can be a good thing depending on your audience and the context you’re using it it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, I don’t have a clear favourite. I played the Thomann tenor at my mother’s funeral so it will always have a place in my heart; the Aulos is a nice budget instrument, too and the sound is a lot better than most people expect it to be; and the Sigo is a class of its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello and welcome to today\u2019s video where I\u2019m going to introduce my three non-wooden tenor recorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have here my tenor by Thomann and my Aulos Robin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Thomann is slightly longer than the Aulos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight-wise they are about the same, 365, 370 gram roundabout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Aulos has double holes for number six and number seven and the Thomann has a double hole and a double key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Playing \u201eGreensleeves\u201c on the Aulos tenor.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aulos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, yes, I said I have a third one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a tenor recorder although it doesn\u2019t quite look like one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the Kunath Sigo and it weighs about 100g less than the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s hear what this one sounds like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Playing \u201eGreensleeves\u201c on the Sigo tenor.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So. Again, all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three tenor recorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
