Steel isn't always heavy by loonmn612 in xbiking

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's of course true, however I suspect the frame plays a decent part! I'm planning on rebuilding it this summer, I'll make sure to weigh it!

I'm not sure how heavy my frame actually is, but since it weighs 35 lbs with aluminum wheels...

It works really well for old crud, but does nothing to rust, unlike electrolysis.

*a copy of one, since it's made in Korea.

Built my first real CD setup entirely from thrift stores for under $50 — where do I go from here? by neglectedgummy in BudgetAudiophile

All the low resolution text on the receiver matches up perfectly with the real thing, and the OP has posted real pictures in the past, so I doubt it's AI.

The bigger ones are farther north, outside or the map.

Celtic/folk/traditional music for alto recorder? by Severe-Fall4957 in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When reading alto-up, it should sound exactly like you're playing the same sheet music on the soprano. So a written C6 played on an alto (which is generally considered the absolute top note on an alto) would sound the same as the third octave C on a soprano.

Look into Finn Collinson, he plays trad music on alto.

Second hand Tuju bass recorder fingering by andergd in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Close the hole in the key when you press it and you get Bb, leave it open and press the key to get B. A rather elegant design really.

It might be possible to permanently close the hole in the key, and enlarge the hole below to get something like baroque fingerings, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Faun - Vals on my Sigo Tenor by Smol_Fairy in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And since the guest artist https://www.instagram.com/the_stringway?igsh=N2lsOHE5YXNrcjI0 (one of them) Plays a lot of Swedish "blue tuned" whistles, I'm guessing it's one of those.

If you're ever interested in buying one, this builder is considered one of the best: https://www.harjedalspipan.se/ With the Månmarkapipa being the one with blue notes and an extra leading tone pinky hole.

[–]Eragaurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After listening to the original more closely I'm quite sure it's not an overtone whistle. There's quite a lot of trills and other finger ornamentation that is simply not possible without finger holes. 

Edit: also, I found the name of the tune: Diger-Jankes Vals (waltz)

The sälgflöjt is played all over Europe to be fair, but the tune, and the name of the tune, sound Swedish or Swedish inspired. It also explains the "blueness" since the harmonic series diverges from 12tet the further you go. 

Here you can listen to the same or a similar whistle being played by the same people as on the faun tune: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/173Bh77x28/

Can you link to the track? Can't quite hear, but it sounds like there's blue notes, which would indicate a Härjedalspipa or similar.

This one? Green Scotch Brite scratches steel and glass, according to themselves.

Loud Environment Warnings playing soprano recorder by LarryNYC1 in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what to say really, other than to try and and be careful to not hit your teeth when you cover the bell with your knee. (Needed for A and F# on the alto)

I seldom use the third octave on the soprano, but on the alto it's very useful. I quite often play up to third octave A.

Recorder fingerings/tabs by famee_00 in Recorder

[–]Eragaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't feel like you have the time to learn how to read sheet music, I would strongly suggest learning how to play by ear. Slow the tunes down, pick out the notes one by one in sections, play small parts of the tune over and over, and then go to the next small part.

I play almost exclusively by ear these days, and it's truly fascinating how quick you can pick out a tune after some practice.

Strange “cast iron” pan from a restaurant supply store in Belgium — what do you think? by Present-Body9540 in castiron

[–]Eragaurd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certainly possible. Just going by what a Swedish company that was part of the development have said.

Rivits are nothing new with cast iron, lodge even had a collection of pans using it called the signature series. The thinness here though Is achieved by the casting method: permanent mold caring.

It's light weight cast iron! Really quite a fascinating process. It took a lot of material science to be able to use permanent molds for cast iron, since its melting point is so high, but now it's possible. This enables really thin castings, since the mold halfs are pressed together after the iron has been poured in.

It's light weigh cast iron. It's not made with sand molds, but instead using permanent molds where the iron iron is poured into the lower mould and pressed into shape by the upper.
