@JAGaudy I think it is. Looks like a Kelly jet-black 5G or 51D (sounds like it too, a certain kind of focus) - or a high-end similar model I've never heard of.
You know Euphonium means "Sweet sound" and David Childs Really puts this to the test. I have never heard a sweeter sound from a wind instrument than the baritone. I truly love it and i'm above happy that I chose to learn it.
Just about the most beautiful duet in all of opera, and how magnificent on the mellow-voiced euphoniums (euphonia? I never took Latin). Name of the instrument means "sweet sound." Since euphonium is a tenor instrument, can't help wondering how the baritone part of the vocal duet would sound on tuba. Also...whether British or American English, love to hear it well-spoken, so happy when emcee says, "...AS you've never heard it before," not "...LIKE you've never..."
Keep after it, kids. I'm 66, and just finished a week of adult band camp ODing on my euphonium. Still playing after all these years, and it just keeps getting better. And you'll be hard pressed to find a better euphonium tone that David Childs's. Find your inspiration, find a good teacher, and keep after it.
@zbro460 Euphonium is great, I love it! I started out on trumpet and immediately fell in love with the euphonium and baritone when I heard how beautiful it was. You can always switch back if you don't feel comfortable. But it is a beautiful instrument.
I hate how the euphonium doesn't get as much recognition as the other instruments. It sounds beautiful in solos such as this one, even though it was a duet. I'm a sophomore and hope that one day I reach my goal to be as good as them two.
No love for the euph. anymore, even though people can play them as a tuba or a trumpet. They can double for so much, and they don't get any recognition. I, myself love the Euph. and all it can do. It has done so much for me in the 5 years I have played it and hopefully through the rest of my life.
Could the mouthpiece possibly be a black "Kelly" 12G? Very useful for cold days...no skin loss! I am honoured to own John Fletcher's (ex LSO Tuba Player legend) Euphonium and have done similar things on it in Australia...Well done boys. Brlliant.
@liniaalverrekijker its called "Deep Inside the Sacred Temple" you can get it anywhere, i got mine from the International Institute and got it signed bu the master himself :)
This is beautiful. Enough said. Im an Euphonium player and this guy ^^^ (Daivd childs) is my role model and I would do anything in the WORLD to be as good as him. But i still have time to go, im only a freshman. (: Our school band is goig to Carnegie Hall in March! this will be a wonderful experience. (: <3
@Baritone723 Yeah no kidding, both him and his farther are my role models. The Euphonium is like no other sound in the band, with its capabiltiy to play low notes with the darkest and beautiful sound and high notes that just make you want to excrete body fluids (haha).
@LilBaritone17 Lmao ! For sure !! ;D I wouldn't mind being like that when I grow up, Shiiiiit ! Lol ! I'd be like all beastin' it and what not. haha ! Buuuuut ! David Childs is just like so amazing. I would faint if I saw him in person. (;
BEAUTIFUL!cant expect any less than that with David.though,i would love to see David Childs and Steven Mead do a duet together,now that would be history in the making!:D
i agree so many people undermine the euphonium and don't understand the beauty and the quality of its magnificent sound. and to be honest it is the most beautiful brass instrument ever made. and yes i play the euphonium too.
Does anyone else notice at 1:22 that his third finger comes over to the second valve? I always thought that was a major no-no, and I do stuff like that sometimes, so it makes me feel better seeing David Childs doing it!
@ajtheown well it's a major no no when you're still learning to play so you don't make a habit of it, then you'll get screwed when you get into some really fast technical stuff. but when you're like David Childs, and even God wonders how he plays so beautifully, you can do whatever u want
Congratulações aos excelentes solistas,a sonoridade de seus instrumentos(Euphonium) é espetacular e a empatia e expressões musicais maravilhosas.É de se lastimar que no Brasil não se dê o devido valor a este lindo instrumento,o Euphonium!!!! Efusivos parabéns!!!Paulo-Campinas-SP-Brazil
man these guys are just puer awesomeness no one freakin compares to this father son duet man how many times do yuou see that theire tone is just unbelievable
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful piece of music. I am a woodwind player, but thoroughly enjoy ALL instruments in the hands of very proficient people! Euphoniums, like the baritone horn, are underrated in their ability to produce haunting, intoxicating melodies. And what a joy to play with your dad on this wonderful piece of Bizet's brilliance! In later years, David will cherish these videos as he cherishes these moments now.
I saw this.. It was in Swansea, Wales... On a televised 'Proms in the Park', on BBC .. Brilliant, simply brilliant... What a wonderful evening it was... You might even hear me 'whoopin' right at the end... Fantastic memories thanks for posting it @welshcoll2004, you are a star... :0)x
I have tried to play Euphonium in my earlier years. Never really made it. If I wasn't so aged, I'd be inspired to have another go, listening to these two.
@everyone else. Even Trombone players have to respect this kind of tone quality, and flawless upper register reaches. Just try and close your eyes and figure out which one is playing. Try and tell when they switch. Near impossible, they match so well. I hope to be able to play either trombone or euphonium half as well as either of these great men.
They're euphoniums however, they are brass banders at heart so they put lots of vib in. orchestral players are taught to use very very little vibrato.
i can't get over how flawless the transitions between the two are...if you just listen to this without watching the video, it's very difficult to identify spots where they switch places playing the melody. Unless, ofcourse, you know the piece well.
why is David consistently looking directly into the camera? Other than that, an absolutely rock solid performance from the two virtousi, orchestral accompaniment works beautifully with euphonium.
I think you may be mistaken. Take a look again - I think the reason he keeps looking to his left is to keep an eye on the conductor rather than the camera!
I had the pleasure of watching this concert live in Swansea, South Wales as par to the Proms on BBC one... Near the end you can hear 'I hope' a very loud 'whoop whoop'... it's me... :0)x
The Child's family are all musically talented, all sound absolutely fantastic and my husband who is a 'Euph' player loves the.em just as much as me.
He loves his Euph and Trombone too!
HAPPY MEMORIES chaps, thankyou 'Welshcoll2004' for posting this gem... :0)x
are you serious?..Sterling instruments are crap compared to Besson...ESPECIALLY the Prestige models...i recently played on a York instrument during the Texas Music Educators Association Conference (TMEA) and i really want one now...i LOVE the sound they produce and its just so comfortable to play :)...i own a Yamaha 842S at the moment though...beautiful instrument...not just saying that because i have one :)...
pretty good. i definitely recommend it...when i first starting playing one at my high school it was very different...the air support required is much greater...especially if you've only ever played on a small shank instrument...but its not unattainable...very nice response as well. :) try it out if you can

pretty good. i definitely recommend it...when i first starting playing one at my high school it was very different...the air support required is much greater...especially if you've only ever played on a small shank instrument...but its not unattainable...very nice response as well. :) try it out if you can

its pretty good actually, it produces a nice sound. i personally dont rly care for concert yamaha horns but that one opened my eyes.

I play on a 642, which is practically the same horn, just slightly smaller bore and bell. But my 642 is excellent, beautiful rich tone and response.
