It's a voiceflute, in D and at a=415 pitch! The voiceflute is a bit between alto and tenor (but essentially a tenor in D)

@@meeguu Thank you! While aware of other pitches, I didn't know that such instruments existed that were between alto and tenor. I am still a bit puzzled that I can play the notes on my alto,(though with different fingering) except the missing lower ones, and they sound correct. I didn't expect this to be the case if the instrument is in 415 pitch, but perhaps it is if the difference between 440 and 415 is a semitone? I am used to not being able to match the notes on early instruments but I guess this is because they are often at 432 not 415.

@@lindosland Yes that is correct, I believe the distance is almost exactly a semitone, which is why it's possible to produce the same tone on a different instrument

@@meeguu Thanks.

Lucie Horsch est excellente et tous les profs de musique devraient faire écouter ses performances aux élèves, et montrer ce dont elle est capable alors même qu'elle est une jeune fille. Voilà qui pourrait impressionner et inspirer nos jeunes.

And yet, so ironically: in your own country, the French Baroque era established a golden time capsule in time of specific recorder techniques etc, techniques and interpretations that we meticulously try to copy today. Go on and enjoy the noble instrument and don't mind what others have to say.

I don´t know how talented you are but perhaps try help change that a little-also what many people don´t know recorders can be very expensive several hundred Euros but you can also get a violin for 100Euro new (not a Strad of course) but loads of people don´t know that

Thanks for your answer and now I do not care what people think in first I prefer listening them after a performance with the band I usually play "I do not know a recorder could sound like that" or" what I this instrument ?" when they discover the Bass recorder. @@CapeTownrecorder

Yes it is true an alto about 300 euros (pearwood baroque Mollenhauer or Moeck) and above 1200 euros in boxwood or more sounding wood, handmade by an instrument factor.

You're the simple one. So tiresome hearing ignorant morons sneer at recorders. Not a simple instrument, not something for children.

@@alexandermackay-smith2364 Please re-read my post, I feel you have got the wrong end of the stick!

For my money, he's the star in this performance.
