Bravo, those are by far the best recorders I have ever heard! My music teacher is in a recorder quartet, so she has a few of the decent modern Yamahas, and they're leaps better than the classroom recorders kids play, but I still don't really dig how they sounded. Flute is her primary instrument, and I'd much rather hear her play that. The recorders in the video look like another huge step up from the Yamahas though. I do feel though they definitely serve a purpose in music education though.

I am glad there are people keeping all these instruments and musical styles alive though. Like any other bit of art/culture, it's easy to forget about it when it goes out of style, and by the time anyone remembers, it's all been lost. One of the surprising parts of my musical education is learning just how much of a joyous part of life music was for so much of our history. With no tv, internet, or recordings, live music was a way to have fun, an opportunity to dance or sing, a way to cross cultures and learn about places you would only ever hear stories about.
