@chickenpieces Thanks for watching!

[cavalierfan2008]

not bad...

[KevorJeffinhoff1]

I loved the Eb clarinet!

[thucydides01984]

Bravo! It sounded pretty good if a bit sloppy here and there. The arrangement for clarinets actually works. I hadn't expected that. Good job.

[kadeekate13]

I meant to the far left :)

[monkaholic100]

@kadeekate13 Thanks for watching! The two to the far left are the Eb Alto clarinet and the Eb Soprano clarinet.

[kadeekate13]

Loved it :) what are the clarinets to the far right? I've played the other three but ive never seen those before. Loved the bass clarinet!

[VikingatYggdrasil]

@kadeekate13 Bass and Contralto clarinet. The one on the far left isn't a bass.

[brennanathompson1]

Try playing a Basset Clarinet. 

[monkaholic100]

@brennanathompson1 I wish I had access to one! Thanks for watching!

[maeg1479]

Great job playing the entire clarinet family at such a young age. Bravo!

[monkaholic100]

@maeg1479 Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!

[doyoureally95]

[monkaholic100]

@doyoureally95 @QuintonisaPagan Not only that...I'm Italian. :P Thanks for watching!

[stevolegato]

You and your sisters are remarkably similar in appearance and all play surprisingly well together.  Altogether, a very Audacious video montage. Great work!

[RestrictionSucks55]

Also, I may have implied it, but I feel that it needs to be said: Great job.

[monkaholic100]

@RestrictionSucks55 Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :o)

[RestrictionSucks55]

Thank you so much, this totally made me smile. Good luck with all your musical endeavors. :)

[richb359]

Best young arranger, performer, video artist, 2011. Good luck, have a great career

[monkaholic100]

@richb359 Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!

[veezbokumar]

ahhhhhh, I wish the tonguing was a bit more fine. But other than that, solid arrangement and playing. And editing.

[monkaholic100]

@veezbokumar Thanks for the feedback! I'm primarily a bass player, so the tonguing on Bb and the smaller guys can be a little rough.

[Ilovepokemon01234567]

I think I may have stumbled across clarinet heaven :D

[monkaholic100]

@Ilovepokemon01234567 Haha! Thanks for watching!

[morganmcphersonable]

Beyond all the other awesome things about this video, such as your arrangement and playing, I think my favorite part is when you look at your Bb clarinet and it turns into an Eb instead.

[monkaholic100]

@morganmcphersonable Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!

[NotUrGurl96]

why do the girls all look exactly the same?

[monkaholic100]

@NotUrGurl96 Thanks for watching! I edited the video to make it look like there are five of me. I'm really playing all of the parts, though.

[applebaby1256]

no hate here but wats with the hat on the base clarinet see im a 6th grade band student and i have an a assighntment to find a good video of your instrument being played to the best quality and i chose you guys cuz your great are you guys all twins

[monkaholic100]

@applebaby1256 Thanks for watching! I'm honored that you chose my video for your assignment. I'm actually the only one playing: I used software to record all eight different parts on top of each other, and I used camera tricks to make it look like there are five of me. I put the hat on the contrabass clarinet as a joke because this piece became popular after it was the theme song of an old show about a cowboy called the Lone Ranger. Thanks again for watching!

[Gusthavoclarone]

Can you share that partiture? i play Eb alto clarinet and my father a Bb soprano clarinet and we want to try it

[monkaholic100]

@Gusthavoclarone Thanks for watching and for the comment! There's a link to the score in the description box.

[finzerpup101]

Wow!!! I love this!!! Great job!

[monkaholic100]

@finzerpup101 Thanks for watching!

[wizardscar]

Amazing! Love your videos.

[monkaholic100]

@wizardscar Thanks for watching!

[bluePedal2]

Nice playing. And are all the fingerings the same thing as regular Bb clarinet.?

[monkaholic100]

@bluePedal2 Thanks for watching and for the comment! For the most part, all the fingerings are the same, except for in the much higher registers, where they vary very slightly.

[Hatclarman]

Incredibly, it took a lot of work, I guess

Bravo !

[monkaholic100]

@Hatclarman Thank you for watching and for the comment! Indeed I did spend a lot of time working on this. I am glad you enjoyed it!

[TheLewsir]

Where did you get all your different clarinets? And what brands are they?

[monkaholic100]

@TheLewsir I got most of them online, except for my Bb and Alto, which I got at retailers. The Eb is a Venus Ebonite that I got on Ebay, the Bb is a Selmer Recital, the Alto is a used Selmer, the Bass is a Kessler Custom Low C that I got from their website, and the Contra is a Selmer intermediate model I got from an online store. Thanks for watching!

[realtimed]

GENIUS AT PLAY!!! This is amazing, Nicole. Congrats!

[monkaholic100]

@waluigitime1 Alrighty! I uploaded the score. The link is in the description bar. Have fun!

[monkaholic100]

@waluigitime1 Thanks! I ordered the Eb just so I could record videos like this.

[PaulSottnikMusic]

cool video :)

[monkaholic100]

@PaulSottnikMusic Thanks for watching!

[LucasBassoon]

Very good, when you can, post the Libertango by Astor Piazzolla, a bassoonist greetings from Brazil!

[monkaholic100]

@LucasBassoon Thanks! I will look that up when I get the chance.

[nmukerjee27]

There seem to be more of you than there used to be.

[monkaholic100]

@nmukerjee27 Those are my minions! I get them to do all my work in exchange for cookies and milk.
