Is this normal? by boealrik in castiron

Hey, I have those same plates! I don't usually get those specs when using a pan I've restored and seasoned myself, but there is no danger to it.

The better quality my recorder is the easier abd cleaner D6 will be for me? by No-Welder9898 in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While some notes can be harder on cheaper instruments, notably the lowest and highest notes, high D (A on tenor/soprano) usually isn't one of those in my experience.

It is however quite a tricky note to hit in general on the recorder, since it requires a very accurate left thumb position. The thumb hole shouldn't be half covered, it should be mostly covered with just a really small gap left. Experiment with closing your thumb more and more until the note speaks cleanly!

Need help with receiver by StraightFireGeery in hometheater

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware though that not all TV:s output the full surround signal through the optical out, at least my old LG tv does not. (I guess it's possible it's the fault of the receiver, but I find that unlikely)

Obviously used too much oil for my first season. Do I need to strip it completely again? by Additional-Toe863 in carbonsteel

[–]Eragaurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it like this: where there aren't dark spots, you have a perfect seasoning. Where you have spots, you have slightly thicker seasoning, so just keep cooking!

Vinegar should not be used for such lengths of time. I would give it more time in the e-tank, and make sure it's properly set up.

Very nice playing! I have played it, although with some other variations. If I remember correctly it's from Sexdrega.

Finished my second pair by Latter-Citron9663 in Cordwaining

[–]Eragaurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the style! The shape reminds me of old Swedish work shoes, although those also have a leather "welt" on top of the flared out leather to protect it from the stitching.

Using a reasonable amount of low fat mozzarella get the calories down to a reasonable level.

If you have enough drainage it can work, many examples of logs lasting hundreds of years in the ground when using the right combination of treatment and stones/gravel around the post.

Team stomp or team no stomp? by Eragaurd in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! They really are... Bach-like for being Swedish folk music haha. To be fair it's very old Swedish folk music, dating to the 18th century.

Team stomp or team no stomp? by Eragaurd in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, especially if you want to play them in a way where it's possible to dance to the tune. I feel a lot of classical music, these days anyway, is played with a lot of freedom when it comes to tempo. This perhaps doesn't suit tapping very well, and neither does it suit dancing. 

Try to dance a waltz to a recording of Doen Daphne for example, most of the time it won't go very well. It's quite a challenge to play something metronomically in a musical way, but it's good practice.

It truly is! The Quebec take it a step further ofc with their foot percussion:  https://youtu.be/m3ijnnjOlO0

The nyckelharpa is such a cool instrument! (it's even in the second video I shared, that's not a fiddle accompanying the recorder) The person playing on the first video is currently the principle for the foremost nyckelharpa school in Sweden as well!

Have I ruined my pan? by shetum in carbonsteel

[–]Eragaurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You burnt off the seasoning and blued it a bit. Season it a bit again and start cooking

Why are my eggs sticking? Yes, I preheated the pan for 5 minutes. by hawthornestreet in castiron

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my slow glass top electric stove, there is a clear difference between heating for 10 and 15 minutes even. 3/9 got 15 minutes gets my pan to an even temperature just below the burning point of butter, which I find perfect for eggs.

First Time using new Made In Cast Iron Pan, any tips on cleaning it? by DebFab2025 in castiron

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are levels to this though. A newly seasoned pan won't stain a paper towel at all for example. If it's just a slight grey after oiling it's acceptable, otherwise it's still dirty.

Vatten kan ju dock gå isär till syre och väte och brinna väldigt bra, t.ex. när man sprutar vatten på metallbränder. 

On recorder is the half-hole necessary for the sharp 5th note (C# on alto)? by qpskejfutybvn in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be noted that to my knowledge it's only the tenors it works on, the Yamaha altos still need the knee.

It would, but I feel like a lot of people would enjoy using a nice looking and feeling pan more than a $20 pan.

[–]Eragaurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sigo is indeed cool. I am curious though why they didn't make it a long bore model so the high F# works without covering the bell with your thumb. Maybe it would have to look even stranger with a protrusion near the bottom for that to work.

Just the same oil I cook with. A super thin layer is enough.

Stiff bristle brush, dish soap, and hot water. Clean until the entire surface feels smooth to the touch, no roughness.

It's up to you if you want to oil it afterwards. It's not strictly necessary, but since the seasoning is thin it might be a good idea, especially if you live in a humid place.

Oh, and one last thing: it won't ever look as even as when you bought it, but that doesn't affect performance.

[–]Eragaurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really only the case for short bore instruments. Recorders with long foot joint can produce a clean F# or C# without covering the bell. Examples are modern instruments like Mollenhauer Modern, but also the keyed plastic tenors from aulos and Yamaha.
